Dwight, Illinois

Eric and I camped last night in Garret Park in Dwight, Illinois. A
couple of weeks ago a tornado touches down in the park and moved
through the nearby neighborhood. A dude in a bar last night where we
had wings told us about a trestle, it wasn't his, that came through
his roof. A woman we saw walking told us about her roof that was blown
away.

Yesterday Eric and I passed the Riviera, a 66 attraction, that was
burned down. A man here at Casey's where we've stopped for coffee and
a phone charge told us the rumor or arson. Sad to think someone would
destroy a bit of history for a little money.
