Route 66

It’s been a long drive today. Old Route 66 twists and turns, disappears, reappears and is in need of some love and care. Much of the road from Chicago is long gone, parts are still drivable though.
As we made our way to Joliet we’re fully aware of all the roadworks - they’re everywhere on all types of roads. Our expected 5 hour day has turned into 7+. Oh well, it’s not often you can do these things so here we are.
Visited the Joliet Prison (Blues brothers & Prison Break film sight)
Major accident in the heart of Joliet which saw first responders doing their job and sorting it out. I think every appliance is there.
Stopped to see the Green Giant at Wilmington Illinois…. (So many towns are named the sane across this county- I’m so confused).
Then we see a Tesla towing a petrol guzzling speed boat… doing his bit to save the planet obviously…..🤣
We push on to Peoria, we have a dinner to celebrate Chuck & Brandi’s 20th Wedding Anniversary.Læs mere
