The first mural I've seen since Bowling Green, OH
Day 46
It’s been a while
May 11th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
Are you 106 miles to chciago? Do you have half a pack of cigarettes? Is it dark? Are you wearing sunglasses? If yes to the above, HIT IT!
I assume you are in Cal City
Elwood! Jake!
This is the East Side of Chicago, near Calumet Park and the famous 95th street bridge, you know, the bridge the Blues Brothers jumped. You’ve got to pick up some fried fish from the market on 95th street and the Calumet River. Great stuff! Get some carry-out and head to Calumet Park and enjoy that beautiful Lake Michigan!
Elwood Blues and Joliet Jake… The company I work for in Idaho has a sattelite plant in Elwood, we always stay at the Hampton Inn in Joliet when we travel back there to work. I love the Chicago area, except for the summers and winters.
