Taken along US Route 66 near Towanda, Illinois. We stopped on Route 66 at the Exit 171 road off of I-55 to shoot an cool barn. As I walked around to get different shots of the buildings, I noticed this cool pickup truck. It says it's a F-100 model, something I had never heard of before and now I see it says "Explorer" behind the rear wheel well. You learn something every so often, but not often enough at my age.

Taken along US Route 66 in Pontiac, Illinois.

From the web:

" Scatterday Soda Water Mfg. Works was a local company that produced carbonated beverages during the early 1900's." Local meaning Pontiac. The artist was Carole Bersin.

Taken along US Route 66 in Livingston County, Illinois South of Pontiac.

As far as we could figure out, this is an old abandoned weigh station related to the grain elevator behind it. The scale is visible next to the small building and the RR tracks are on the left of the picture. The scale doesn't look like it would accommodate much more than a small wagon like the one on it in the picture.

Taken at a small, but excellent car show by the VooDoo Dragons along Route 4 in Hamilton, Ohio that we just happened upon while returning home.

I don't think I've ever seen a stock Anglia. All I've seen have been converted for racing. I guess the bodies are light, cheep and easily converted to straight line racing.

Now where did this come from? I'm sure I don't know. but I'd guess from a local antique mall/store. I do know that no AI was involved. She's the real deal.
