We're off again

The boys and I are headed west once more.  We had a great day yesterday riding along the Fox River.  It was almost all bicycle trails and full of people.  

My uncle rode with us for the first 12 miles before turning back.  We rode through an interesting place called Fermilab.  This is a government run lab that is researching dividing sub-atomic particles to create energy.  We were interviewed for their newsletter by the woman who runs their educational center.

We later heard about a couple who have been walking across the U.S.A.  They began their journey in California.  We hoped to see them but they must have stopped for supplies.

We are going off the main bicycle route in order to shave 12 miles off our distance today.  It is time for me to wake the boys.

A special thanks goes out to everyone in Chicago.  We had a great time!
