Not Just Another Bump In The Road

7 Miles Today;  With the roads being in terrible condition, because the road crews are not out on week-ends unless it's an emergency.  The temperature was 30 degrees and a little windy.  Thanks to the neighborhood I chose to walk, the sidewalks were mostly cleared for the walking guy.  Until tomorrow, God Bless Walk Forrest Walk
Forrest's Virtual Journey of Route 66 Visits Dwight, Illinois



Dwight, Illinois is a pretty little town of some 4,500 residents whose motto is "Not Just A Bump in the Road,” which you’ll find to be a true if you take the time to stop and explore this old Route 66 town. One of Dwight's attractions along Historic Route is Big Al's Hot Dogs.  This unique business will be one of the first things you will see as you enter Dwight on Route 66. Soon you will pass Ambler’s Texaco Station. Built in 1933, it later became The Marathon Oil Station and serviced travelers until 1998. The building is currently being restored by the community and will serve as visitor’s center.  (to be continued)
