With a beautiful sunrise in Michigan, I was on my way again. A heron flew over the highway, and I noticed hawks and red-winged blackbirds. In Illinois and Iowa, the shoulder and median were full of wildflowers--lots of Queen Anne's lace, a few sunflowers and other bright spots of color I couldn't identify. As the landscape flattened out, the sky became more dramatic--a blue sky filled with evenly-spaced puffy white clouds.
I had lunch in Ottawa, IL, site of the first Lincoln-Douglas debate when they were campaigning for the Senate in 1858.
