On Saturday July 3, the North Henderson Mild Ones (Jen, Rick, Tim and Mike) journeyed to new territory. Elmira, Henry, Lacon, Maquon and other places were on our tour. Great day, great company and, for the most part, amazingly great roads.
An old school house was a stunning discovery as we took a curve in what is a place called Elmira. Nothing much more than this old wreck and a house or two. Imagine the hundreds of children who entered this building sometimes with trepidation, sometimes with elation, the friendships forged and the skills learned. A skeletal wreck that at one time was a cathedral of learning.
We stopped at the park briefly in Henry and watched the Illinois river. Since it was a big three day weekend, lots of people, and boat traffic.
The Bridge over the River Illinois
This guy isn't going to get too far.
From what I could see, these were the only residents of Elmira.
