Madi here. We did about 610 miles yesterday and rolled into Indy and found a nice hotel, love the Staybridge Suites. Alec and Ben will be in sleeping bags on the floor tonight though... boy do they move around a lot at night.
Casey and Mike got up early and found their first geocache. They'll have to give you the details on that.
After a great breakfast we got going about 9 and had to stop around 10:30 for a potty and gas break. We found the slowest gas pump in all of the US. It's somwhere in Ill on Rt 70 near Clarksville. After 10 minutes or so, we had only pumped 6 gallons of gas. At $4.50/gal. Effingham!!!! is next. (Hey, we went through there on RAAM in the RV).
Oh, and Ben is bored by the flat road. Obviously he hasn't seen Kansas yet. I'm excited to get back to Missouri and look for armadillos. Quiz question-does anyone know what a pangolin is? First one to post a comment with the answer wins a pack of Hubba Bubba with a yummy fruity center!
I need coffee, but I need a nap more.
Later!!

Yay! Glad the trip has started out well. Geocaching is cool! Keep the posts coming; we need to live vicariously through your vacation :)
Oh, and I believe a pangolin is an armadillo, is it not?
Wow. That was fast. Kev has won himself a fresh pack of HubbaBubba!
Mike
It's an armored beasty related to an armadillo but it has a prehensile tail. And no teeth. It eats insects and lives in trees. Alec and I learned about them when we looked up armadillos. Very cool. I was hoping someone would say it was a type of penguin.
