Learning About Illinois

A few weeks ago, I started my long virtual trek along the highway called Route 66!


Starting in Chicago, the highway culminates in Los Angeles. I expect it will take me between 18 and 24 months to complete... if all goes well!


I did have to cut back on my daily walking a bit when I developed a sore foot...


But I'm hoping it won't slow me down significantly in the end.


In the few weeks I've been walking along Route 66, pausing to look at the scenery around me, I'm most surprised by the flatness of the land. It's more like the prairies (where I lived as a child) than the forests of Ontario and Quebec... and the eastern United States.

That surprised me!
