ST.N National - Day 4

I traveled a little bit less miles today, but it took just as long if not longer. Average speeds have dropped after crossing the Mississippi river, and I was stopping to look at things more often.

Startpoint: Davenport, IA
Endpoint: Cambridge, OH
Miles traveled: 560
Mishaps: 0
Tickets: 0
Gallons of gas used: 12.035





It was still flat for a while after crossing the river, but all green and with trees.

Indiana rest stop

I stopped in Indianapolis on the way so I could take a picture next to the Speedway:


It started getting hilly in the middle of Ohio, as I got closer to the Appallachian mountains.

First rest stop in Ohio:

The rear tire is starting to get a flat spot now, after riding on mostly straight roads all the way to here. I think I've identified the problem with the radar detector - the power connector for it keeps moving because of vibration, causing intermittent breaks in the circuit. I'm using the cigarette lighter plug that came with the detector, and those are not designed for this kind of environment. I need to find a rubber band or something to secure it for now, and I'll hardwire some plugs for it when I return.
