A blog about our road trips on Route 66, Lincoln Highway, St. Louis, New York, Michigan, etc. (we have been to 37 States, 13 more to visit), about my love of hockey (NHL), football (NFL), coming to America, growing up in Viet Nam, humor that ain't funny and still a lot of ramblings!

TUESDAY TWO - BICYCLISTS ALONG ILLINOIS ROUTE 100
I thought of QQ, www.qaptainqwerty.com, when I saw these two bicyclists along the Bike Trail during our Sunday drive in Grafton, Illinois.
From www.Greatriverroad.com, "The Vadalabene Trail is approximately 20 miles of level paved trail that parallels the Great River Road and the center portion of the Meeting of the Great Rivers Scenic Byway. The trail is named after Sam M. Vadalabene, an Illinois State Senator and proponent of the trail. Riders, walkers, and joggers will see prairie wildflowers along the trail as well as flowering trees during the spring. Brilliant reds, yellows and oranges compliment the scenery in the fall. For those willing to brave the elements in the winter months should be able to see Bald Eagles soaring over the river and bluffs, or floating down the river on chunks of ice."
Hey, Qap, does it sound entice enough for you to visit this neck of the woods?
