We used the courtesy car for a 1/2 day to get the medications, to find an excellent breakfast place, to do a little more shopping and enjoy the beautiful Fox River Valley.
Ottawa a rather prosperous town has a beautiful park with statues commemorating a Lincoln Douglas debate that took place on that spot in 1858. Among the many wonderful murals downtown the Lincoln Douglas debate mural is one of the best; I would estimate it to be over 200 feet in length.
Tomorrow we travel the Illinois River to Peoria Illinois; one lock and 72 miles.
