Yesterday, January 20th, we decided to head back home by way of Starved Rock State Park in Utica where we've heard a lot of bald eagles winter.
Took I-80 east to Peru and got off to play NTN Buzztime at the BW3 (Buffalo Wild Wings), then back on I-80 for the short drive to Utica and Starved Rock. That is one really impressive lodge and we saw eagles flying along with a tree decorated with about 12 white ornaments (that's what the eagles look like sitting in it).
Also visited the Starved Rock Visitors Center and then took US-6 to Marseilles where we played NTN at the Illini Lodge. This made three new NTN sites for us this new year so far.
Then, on US-6 to Morris and north on Il-47. Had some great food at the Brownberry Inn in Elburn and then home to avoid all the cold coming in last night.
I'll go into more detail Monday.
Altogether, we saw 100 white heads, bald eagles.
A Great Tradition. --RoadDog
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.
