Day 16

We departed Akron at a decent hour, our next major stop Indianapolis IN. We estimate 3-4 days for a span of 300 miles. The day was pretty uneventful, mostly just corn fields. After a while I was horribly sick of seeing corn fields over and over, one after another, and I prayed to God to please let there be something else besides corn around the corner so that I won't be so bored. Well God answered my prayers, and after the turn in the road we had the pleasure of looking at nothing but soybean farms for the next few hours. We completed the day riding a total of 75 miles, which was to date the longest we had ever rode in a single day. We ended up in Lexington OH. We slept under some pine trees near a cemetery, which ended up being one of the best spots yet. it was covered by the large branches of the pine trees and the needles made for a soft surface to sleep on. It was also a beautiful night, the stars were amazing and the temperature was comfortable. Though we were on a slight slope which made us slide down into the end of our tents and sleeping bags which made things slightly awkward.
