OCTOBER 11, 2014
We left home at about 11:15 and drove the usual, avoid Huntley if you can) way so out to Il-120 to Il-47 to Il-176 to Il-23.
This is big-time fall fest here in northern Illinois. We passed two huge agri-business places, each with several hundred cars parked out in grass-covered parking lots. The first one was Stade's, about two miles from us. Then there was a small one just south of Woodstock on Il-47 and another big one on Il-176 heading for Marengo.
Along with these big places, quite a few farmers had pumpkins for sale by their places.
Trees are starting to turn colors and some of the maples are just brilliant. I'm figuring next week should be prime time.
We stopped at Wal-Mart in DeKalb and bought some NIU souvenirs and a black sweatshirt as the alumni are pushing a black-out where everyone wears black and i don't have a black sweatshirt.
The weather is absolutely beautiful today, a perfect day for a football game.

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.
