Eric & I Drive Southwest to Springfield, Illinois

Eric & I leave the RV/MH
Hall of Fame & Museum's
parking lot to start
today's drive.

We will continue today's

drive....

... on Interstate 90 West,
toward Chicago.

The Elkhart water tower

One of many farms we
pass during our drive.

Welcome to Illinois

The Land of Lincoln

This old Gravel Pit
covers acres.

On to Interstate 80 West,

toward Iowa

Reading Fosters Focus

This retired Librarian
agrees.

The Country Club Hills

water tower

A Firetruck is in the Westbound
Lane & cars are blocking
traffic.

Our Exit is 126 A for

Interstate 55 South.

A huge US Flag unfurls
in light winds.

This Wrecker moves to the left

shoulder of the highway as it

makes its way to its next call. 

High Voltage Transmission
Towers loom over the
highway.

A backhoe works at one end of

 newly constructed bridge.

Corn waits to be harvested.

This picture is deceptive.

The Wind Turbines are pretty

far away from the tree in the

foreground that appears

to dwarf them.

An old Windmill & decrepit

Barn are all that's left of this

roadside farm.

We stop for Diesel at a Freedom

Gas Station.

$2.87 per gallon is a bargain.

Eric takes a shot of me driving
with the Bloomington Normal
water tower in the distance.

We drive past the exit for

Elkhart, Illinois.

Here's our exit, 96B to
South Grand Avenue.

Eric & I have an appointment at

Freightliner Service Center to
 investigate a Hydraulic Fluid leak.
