I was delighted to hear that my cousin Joe from Virginia was going to be passing through this past weekend on his way to Aberdeen, South Dakota, for a job interview. I very rarely have family come to visit all the way "up North" as we are.
He arrive about midnight Friday-Saturday.
Saturday morning, we went for a ride. Aberdeen is located on US-12, which has always been an important road to me. Even more so, Aberdeen is located on the same road. We had breakfast at the Depot in Richmond which is in the old railroad station of Solon Mills (moved to present location).
Then, we drove US-12 to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and around town, looking at the fall color (especially great on Snake Road west of town). They were setting up for Oktoberfest.
Then, back to Spring Grove, also on US-12, and looked at the Fred Hatch plaque at the park. Fred Hatch was the man who invented the farm silos we see today back around 1900. We were going to see his grave, but the road was closed for construction. We also went to the Spring Grove Fish Hatchery Park which was just dedicated last month. At one time, most all game fish in the state of Illinois got their start there.
That Night We Had Some Music. --RoadDog
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.
