1) This is a really pretty time of year to drive through southern IL/IN and KY. A lot of trees are still bare, so you get a lot of color and texture from the wood, but you also get trees that are just starting to leaf out, and pines that are greening up again. Truly gorgeous at times, like the spring version of autumn color. This is hilly country, too, which adds to it all.
2) People are cool. From the guy who serviced our truck before we left to the folks we were picking up our equipment from, and all the fast food and gas station attendants along the way, sometimes it feels like everyone's been placed there to help you. (Except other drivers, of course. Never other drivers, lol.) For a minute it felt like we would have to delay our trip. But with the help of others, everything clicked into place.

3) The modern world can stink but honestly, it's kind of amazing that we have the infrastructure and technology that allows us to traipse 600 miles in a day and only break a sweat bc your AC is old and cranky. I know there's a lot of historical and environmental baggage that comes with roads and whatnot, but I am feeling very thankful for navigable roads, rest stops, and snacks. Good job, roads, and the people who make them.
