We live in McHenry County, Illinois, and we now have a scenic drive program. We are on the fringe of the Chicagoland area, but fast filling up with folks as The Big City continues its inexorable march out to the corn fields.
Fortunately, we still have lots of area that is not subdivided and commercialized.
The Scenic Drive Program began in 2005.
One of the drives is River Road which is west of Woodstock. It is tree-lined, has rolling farmland, gentle hills (I'd sure hate to hit a rough one), unique barns, well-kept old homes, historic cemeteries, and three one room schoolhouses.
This is a project of the McHenry County Historic Preservation Commission. There are currently six roads so designated.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
