stormdogI'm going to finalize packing and get to bed pretty soon. I didn't sleep much last night and I'd like to be fresh. Hopefully I won't wake up in the middle of the night again...
I'm going to see if I can pick the car up any earlier so I can get a jump start on the trip. And as for getting to the rental place, I've been kind of itching to take a nice long hike. I'm just going to walk the 4.4 miles to DeWitt. Maybe I'll go through Thornden Park on the way; it's pretty.
I got an offline map app installed, and I have cell data as a backup too, so I think I'm set there. I'm going to see this enormous train trestle first, then a spillway with a legendary number of carp, and then probably straight to Chicago. I expect I'll stop somewhere along the way for nap and other random photography. There's more wonderful weirdness in Ohio and Pennsylvania, but it'll be dark when I go through. Maybe I can hit the museum dedicated to the US presidents before Washington on the way back east.
I my potential ride from Chicago to Kenosha doesn't come through, I'll aim to get into the area early, drop my stuff off in Kenosha, then drive back to Chicago.
So there we are! I'll talk to you once I'm in the Midwest again.
