Route 66: Day 14

Spent the morning biking over the Mississippi River on the Chain of
Rocks bridge. Kind of fun biking over the river.

Stopped at the "Lady of the Highway" statue in Raymond. This was
installed by a Catholic Youth Group in 1962 on Frances Marten's farm
on Rt. 66. He and his wife maintained the property, and his offsprings
continue today. The statue is visible from I-55 as well.

Later we stopped at Funk's Grove Maple Sirup farm (spelling in
intentional). Great sirup (syrup).

Needless to say, our side excursions put us further south that
intended. We are camping in a park in Carlock, IL. Yes, Carlock. Guess
it was some guy's name.

Tomorrow hoping to get to Joliet, then downtown to Chicago.
