| Wilmington, Something For Everyone |
7 Miles Today; Forrest had his walk completed before the sun came up. It was cold but still another nice dry day to walk. With the temperature at 20 degrees and no wind I'm surprised I didn't see more people this morning. Forrest only saw a lady with her two dogs. I guess 6am is too early for my friends. However I did have coffee at MacDonald's with my buddy Dave Lusty and several other retirees who go to Mickey D's every day for coffee. Now lets get to my new adventure of following Route 66. I'm trying to put myself back to the late 50's and early 60's as I write my daily blog entries. It's hard to imagine traveling across the United States before Interstate Highways, using only two lane roads. However, Forrest plans on letting his imagination take him back to this golden age of travel and enjoy my virtual journey.

Wilmington, Illinois boast as being a part of the historic Route 66. In the automobile age, Wilmingtonians could get their kicks on the famous Route 66 which passes through the town as it winds from Chicago to L.A. With today's population 6,600 this small town combines all the best aspects of rural and suburban living, outstanding recreational opportunities, rich farmlands, quiet pace to live that's for sure. Until tomorrow from somewhere along historic Route 66, God Bless Walk Forrest Walk
