In 2007 I initially started riding a bike and failed to follow up, til last summer, when I started again.

A mistake on my part.

That summer, and every once in a while since, in my home town, Sherrard, Illinois, a number of tourists will pass through loaded down.

Those guys are doing what I would love to do with a bit of work.

I looked on line and found out that one outfit or another maps a route through Sherrard for those who wish to cross this part of the country.

Basically, riders come through Muscatine, Iowa, thru Reynolds Illinois, Sherrard, Illinois and on through Kewanee, Illinois.

I was wondering if anyone out there in touring forum land had passed through my home ground...and what if any impression they had of it...it is only midwest farm ground...but I'm just curious if any of you had past through.
