Day 29 Rensselaer IN to Kempton, IL 55 miles Total 1354.9 mi
Leaving the hotel, Allane asked the hostess whether there was anything she should see or do locally. The woman just smiled and shook her head, and "No" was all she said! Then added, "Just corn and more corn."
It was raining this morning, so the riders donned their rain gear and headed out. The hostess was correct...corn and more corn, gird roads a mile square, so that at an intersection you can see a four-mile square section.
We crossed into Illinois with no fanfare other than the drumming of the rain.
In the pouring rain, the riders slogged to Clifton, a town with a population of 231. Happily, two of those people were Palli and Deb, who were working the Main Street Diner and Pizzeria. They fed us well as the riders rested and dried off a bit.
