Today was the final push of our cross country trek. We crossed Nebraska and Iowa on into Illinois. We hit up lots of roadside attractions. Nebraska and Iowa are pretty great for this kind of thing. Perhaps it is because there isn't amazing rock formations and such to draw people to pull over and so attractions have to be made. We saw the birthplace of Kool-Aid and the Kool-Aid man's feet prints in cement. We saw some cute little towns and even took a picture of an old Rexall Drug store. We saw the world's largest truck stop. We stopped at on of the Sapp Bros. coffee pot water tower. We stopped by a lighthouse next to a lake and a Danish windmill and community. We saw a little mermaid statue. We even made a pretty big detour to Gringer Ag. Inc. which is some sort of corn processing place to see a large metal ear of corn. The surprise, though was that the train tracks were right next to the plant so I pointed the camera toward the road to the plant toward the railroad crossing signs and shot this photo. I love simplicity and graphic shapes in photos. So while I have all sort of photos of interesting man made sights from the day it was this simple railroad crossing that won the top spot today. It was something I saw today.At some point over the next couple days I will go through all the photos from the trip and post a link to all of them for anyone who is interested. So stay tuned for that.
