Day 27: Quincy to Springfield, IL, 107 miles, avg speed, 16.6 mphThis is a picture of the bridge that goes across the Illinois River. The Illinois is the river famous for the big carp that jump out of the water when a boat passes. People have been injured when hit by these carp jumping out of the water. I know Old Dick thinks I made that up but he can look it up. (He probably won't sleep tonight thinking about those carp jumping out of the river.) They're the same carp that they're trying to keep out of the Great Lakes.
I know this is not a real interesting picture but it's the best I could do today. There's not a lot of spectacular scenery in the this part of the country. Lots of cornfields and cows. That's Harold in the photo.
Tomorrow we head for Champaign. We're supposed to start at 6:30 instead of 7:15. Tracey says the forecast is calling for thunderstorms in the morning. I guess the plan is to get a jump on the weather. Hope it works.
Good to hear from Lori. She's not lurking anymore.
What does one do for a one month trip anniversary.......sleep, sleep, sleep.....There have been 48 salmonella poisonings in ILL in the last week. All cases were traced to Subway restaurants. Champaign's Subway was listed as one. Beware...eat somewhere else...this is not a joke! Rest well, and then on to Crawfordsville, IN WAY TO GO SAM!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, kiddo, I am impressed --- watch out for all of the RV's on Indiana roads. Those Hoosiers drive them to every lake in the state during the summer.
ReplyDeleteCatch you soon --- am actually working on a project this week and you had to screw up my mind with flying carp stories. What happens if you eat one?
