This past April, I had a Sons of Confederate Veterans Division meeting (Illinois Division) in Springfield, Illinois, one of my favorite cities anywhere, even if our ex-governor, the Blago would rather live in Chicago than the Governor's Mansion there.
Gas in Woodstock was $4.20.
We left April 29th. Enjoyed the "Got Mulch" sign by a landscaping place on Il-176 east of Marengo.
The Dekalb County Courthouse in Sycamore, where Liz and I got our marriage certificate, had construction work going on. I guess you can expect that from a 100+ year-old structure.
Gas in Dekalb was $4.06. Other prices there: $4.10 to $4.16.
We usually take Il-47, but a huge construction project is underway in that fast-growing town, so decided to take Il-23 as an alternate. It also runs north-south.
Leaving Dekalb, we saw a wind farm, evidently a new one as none of the windmills were turning.
More to Come. --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.
