September 9th, 2008. Dixon, IL. 45 miles. Grass. Cool.
Half way between Chicago and Davenport, IA. We’ll turn back toward Chicago after a two day stand here. This is the birthplace of Ronald Reagan. Interesting both U.S. Grant and Ronald Reagan were IL natives who weren’t associated with IL when they went on to the White House. Lincoln on the other hand was born in Indiana but is clearly identified with IL. Dixon is a lot and license date.
Cool autumn day with small towns touting orchards and cider mills and corn mazes. 6AM call, but the pole truck had a bad starter and it was nearly 9AM when it finally got off yesterday’s lot.
