At the intersection of Illinois highways 23 and 72, east of Genoa, there was a farmhouse with a banner outside reading "Pray for my Son." Not sure what that was all about. There is also one of those neat oval barns as I approached the town.
Gas in Genoa was $3.80. There is an restaurant with a neat sign reading Roberts Drive-In. Looks like it has been there for quite a long time.
Gas in Sycamore was $3.76, proving again that the farther you get from Chicago, the cheaper gas gets.
Entering Sycamore on Il-23 which is a really built-up corridor with four lanes, lots of stoplights and traffic as well as most any SHS (Stabdardized Homegenized Stuff), I saw the population of the city is 43,900. I imagine that doesn't count the students at NIU.
Gas in Dekalb was $3.70 at the Road Ranger so filled up. It is nice to have gas prices here in Illinois finally coming down. The wonderful GRBs at BO kept it as high a s long as they could to make those huge profits that you no longer see publicized for some reason.

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.
