July 20, Condit's Ranch, Putnam, Illinois

 Yesterday was a short 38 mile day.  Today was a long 63 mile day.  We started out straight into an 8 mph wind which increased to 14 mph through the day.  It was a constant push even on downhills.  We had another detour  due to a bridge out.  We had to take route 2950 North to avoid the bridge.  On the reroute we were stopped by a freight train with 5 engines.  It was pulling a long line of double decker Amazon containers.  We had a nice break in Wenona by a pond.  As an additional challenge, the last half mile was up a steep grade (15%) to get to the park.  We were worn out by the time we made it to camp.  Our site is behind a barn but it is spacious and near a bathroom.
