Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Civil War in Illinois-- Part 6: Old Gas Station-- Wishing Well-- Oval Barns-- Lincoln Highway-- Scholarship-- Alumni Association--- Athletics

Stopped at the old Standard Oil station in Odell where we ran into two people from France driving Route 66. Ate in Odell at Misty's Wishing Well. Great food at reasonable prices. Too full for the homemade pie.

Drove Illinois Highway 47 north to the Lincoln Highway in Elburn, counting five oval barns along the way. There was one oval barn on the Lincoln.

Met with our scholarship advisor at Altgeld Hall and put another $11,000 into our education scholarship, making it fully funded. Also joined the NIU Alumni Association and looked into joined the NIU athletic group.

The grass definitely needed cutting by the time we got back, so cut it before going over to the Dill Pickle for the 35 cent jumbo wings.

As Usual, a Great Time in Illinois. --RoadDog
