Summary: Didn't have to make a 2nd trip to Louisville this month so I did day trip to hit a couple landmarks. Clinched I-72 and I-172 and in the process finished all interstate mileage in Illinois, my 3rd state after Indiana and Colorado. Also got the last four counties in Illinois I was missing, making that my 2nd state 100% complete after Indiana.

Congrats on clinching all IL Interstates! Out of all of them, what was your favorite stretch?

I would have to say either I-24 or the far southern segment of I-57.

So this is an unfortunate report. Early on the morning of the 29th, I set out on one final clinching trip for the year, planning on picking off several Iowa counties as well as IL 5 in Rock Island and a nice chunk of US 34. I thought all the ice had melted on my driveway but I found the one patch that didn't. I broke my fall with my left arm, which knocked my humerus completely out of its socket and fractured it in two spots. It required surgery and a splint for 6 weeks and even then I might still need a shoulder replacement. Worst part is that I'm left handed, but in any case no driving for me for quite a while. Also having to type one handed so probably significantly less posting for a while too.

Whoa, crap! Bad news indeed!
I pray recovery goes well for you. As well as possible.
