August 28, 1993
After a week driving Route 66 from California in my 1959 Cadillac, Eric Wittman and I were nearing the end of the line in Chicago as we inched through the Illinois, the last of the eight states that the famed highway runs through. We woke at the 66 HOTEL COURT in Litchfield and made a stop to visit with FRANCIS MARTEN at his farm where he had been caretaker for the 'Our Lady Of The Highway's' shrine located on his farm since 1959. We would continue on and stretch out legs at the DIXIE TRUCKER'S HOME in McLean and pick up some maple sirup and visit with Glaida Funk at FUNKS GROVE. I have made individual video segments on those three locations and what is seen in this video are the bits and pieces in-between.
