Day 23

Goreville, IL to Murphysboro, IL, about 38 miles.  Took a short day today.  Last night, an animal was scurrying around behind my tent which kept me up for a while.  It was finally scared off by an unexpected thunderstorm, which kept me up longer.  Woke up late with a bad headache and worse cold symptoms causing my body to crave rest, so I decided on a shorter day and a stay in a motel in Murphysboro for the night.  I took a nap by a lake mid-day, which was very relaxing.  I saw two pairs of cyclists today going eastbound, one pair on a tandem and another pair on two two-wheel recumbents.  I've also reached a new milestone, having completed Section 10 of the ACA's TransAmerica Route.
