Day 26: ADT 2025

Opted to diverge from the official ADT into Southern Missouri, as an alternative to running through East St Louis into Missouri. There are a lot of great little town south of St Louis with cafes, stores, and historical markers, and I was headed into a nighttime event in South County.

Once I got past St Mary's, the highway 61 running was totally doable until I reached sidewalk areas.

For future ADTers, I recommend this as a viable alternative. It's apparently known as "the blues highway" and technically goes approximately 1400 miles from Louisiana to Minnesota and continues to Canada. :)
