Awesome! That proves what a variety of interesting places that make up our state. Gives me lots of ideas for road trips of my own.

Shumway AND Windsor? You really did hit all the big towns. This is fantastic. Did you manage to find Moonshine? Looks like you were just a few miles away.

That part at the end with the signs (in alphabetical order) was especially wonderful (banned punctuation)
Great video (more banned punctuation)

Thanks for all of the very kind comments.
It was my daily reading of CapFax that inspired me to get out of my corner of Illinois and explore our beautiful state.

Joyful and fun. Will be humming that tune for the rest of the afternoon.

Too few people take the time to look up the goat tower, afaic.
