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

A Day Spent Cruising Route 66

Yesterday, we returned home from our minivacation downstate.  Drove Route 66 all the way from Springfield, Illinois, to Dwight, with the exception, of course, of the two cities who ignore their Route 66 heritage, Bloomington and Normal.  We I-55ed it around those two.

Got a look at the newly restored Pig Hip sign in Broadwell and ate at the Bonanza restaurant in Lincoln.  Saw the great Palms Cafe in Atlanta, which also has that horrible water tower.  Saw the Patton Cabin in Lexington.  Visited the new Pontiac-Oakland Museum in Pontiac.

In Dwight, proceeded onto Il-47 to Elburn where we had a detour on Il-38 to Randall Road, eventually to Il-31 and home.
