TUESDAY June 22nd
Drove Illinois highways 47, 176, 23, 72 and 2 to Dixon, Illinois. Always a great ride out in the beautiful rolling farmland, but it got especially pretty after I continued straight where Il-72 went north across the Rock River to Byron.
I never did see the name of the road until Oregon, but it might have been Il-2 which I picked up at that town. Most of this route was within sight of the Rock River.
Checked into the room at the Super 8, checked into the Lincoln Highway Association's 2010 confidence then met up with Denny and we drove to Sterling and walked the grounds of the Dillon House and played NTN at the just-opened BW3 (Buffalo Wild Wings)
Came back for the opening banquet and had the opportunity of sitting with one of the Boy Scouts who went across the United States in 1928 showing his skills before the organization put up all those Lincoln Highway markers.
After dinner, we had a presentation by Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln. After all, this is the Land of Lincoln.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
