Journal: Canton, OH to Effingham, IL
Barns, barns, barns, and a sad potato
6.15.2024
Day 2 of the drive home, day 19 of the trip.
Left Canton around 8am. It was a nice, sunny day.
5pm I arrived at my destination: The Quality Inn in Effingham, Illinois
During the drive, I had developed a hankering for a fully loaded Baked Potato.
In my mind, I imagined this:
Alas, Cracker Barrel gave me this:
Day 19 complete, 441 miles, 9 hours.
Anne! Rte 36 is like a mile away from me! I wish I'd known, and we could have met up! You're lucky you were on it this summer and not last when it was a nightmare with construction. That potato looks like something you'd get at Wendy's at the end of the day!

That sad potato 😩 I had a “jacket potato” England at a jacket potato restaurant that has now set the bar and my expectations for all baked potatoes far too high. Nothing comes close enough now.
