Illinois' Route 66 Red Carpet Festival-- Part 2-- Odell

Those windmills stretch way south of Odell, almost to Pontiac and could likely be one of the largest Wind Farms in the US. I sure can't imagine one being bigger. Definitely a new TO-SEE thing on the Route.

The home with all the gas pumps out front was open in Odell and there were quite a few people at the Odell Standard Station. I walked in and signedthe book. A group of motorcyclists pulled up just after we arrived. They were on the road for a cure for cancer. One biker was towing a small corvette for storage, a neat touch.

I asked Liz where we were to get the puzzle piece and she said in the station. No one had said a word to me about it while I was in there. Liz went in to get it.

We saw work going on at the old Smaterjax restaurant (Fedderson's before that). Looks like they are gutting the place. Hopefully it won't be torn down. We were shocked when the Smaterjax owners sold all that great automotive memorabilia, including the straight run of license plates with the same numbers and letters from the 1920s to 1980s. That was amazing, but now some private owner has it.
