This was our last long day of travelling. First we hit a monsoon once we got to Wisconsin. It poured rain with high winds for about 200 miles. It made the driving a bit trecherous and slow, but once we hit Illinois things cleared and it became quite hot again. Illinois also introduced us to our first toll road. Almost all the roads in Illinois are toll roads, which makes for really nice roads to drive on! But, when you aren't on a toll road, it is similar to driving on the roads in Saskatchewan! Not nice at all.
We stopped just outside of Indianapolis for the night at our favourite Horse Motel - Cuttin' Up Stables. Mom and I are always fascinated by the amount of fire flys there! It was very humid and hot though. Tango got particularly sweaty in his stall overnight. Oslo was lucky enough to have a pen outside for the night so he stayed much cooler, but he did have to sleep with some bugs. We made sure he was equiped with his fly sheet though, and the bugs were not nearly as bad as they were at home. Although, in the morning we discovered some horse flys that had to have been on steroids. Insanely huge!

We slept in the next morning since we had lost another hour on the road and are now on Kentucky time (2 hours ahead). Plus, we only had just over three hours to the Kentucky Horse Park the next day.
