Today didn’t start as usual with me riding off to the next place to sleep. I met Dave here at the campground, he and his wife are camping in a nearby site. Dave offered to ride with me to Wenona. As we rode we bonded a friendship while enjoying a bike ride together.
The rolling countryside through fields of corn and soybeans brought us into small rural towns. Henry, the town where we stopped for lunch is nestled on the bank of the Illinois River.
The ride ended in Wenona, where I has planned to camp in the City Park. This is a nice park with a restroom with a shower. A few minutes after I arrived and was settling in, two men stopped in to welcome me and asked if I needed anything. I told them that I was all set and thanked them. We began talking, they were curious about my tour. Allan offered to have me stay in his guest room. He shared with me the history of this town and dinner at the Boardwalk.
