We started today back at the same gas station where I picked up Taylor when he had his flat a few days ago, before we went to Wheaton.
Back at it...at least with freshly washed bike clothes!
Today we crossed into Illinois.
How great is this?! As soon as you cross the Mississippi there are signs to point you to the mental health center or the penitentiary. When I sent this to my brother Kent he asked, "Which is Taylor headed to?"
Right at the border is Chester...
The views on my run around town.
Anything for a little run break!
And I thought of when our youth group went to Cairo...
We stayed overnight in Murphysboro. I was pretty sure they had read somewhere that they had a "bathhouse" and they did have electricity.
After we got settled at our site we walked around town and had Italian for dinner. I normally think "I can make spaghetti; why go out for Italian?" but the food was wonderful! So glad we stopped...and the cheesecake was a great leftovers breakfast the next day!
