We made a quick stop in the Illinois town where Kris spent her formative years and had lunch with a friend she went to school with from grades 1 through 9.
Lawn Rangers have performed in a Presidential Inaugural Parade
Arcola High School still looks grand
The old brick streets are still there.
friends since first grade
Other fun things we saw in Indiana and Illinois:
Kokomo, Indiana
Awesome summer reading theme at the Kokomo Public Library
A stop in the "Land of Lincoln"
Dice actually rotate on the spindle
Next, we saw how high the water in the Mississippi was when we crossed into Iowa. Quite a contrast to a few years ago when it was really low and exposed sandbars impeded the movement of goods on the river.
Many of the rivers in Illinois and Iowa were high from recent rains.
Geocaching milestones along the way . . .
