Further North.....

The trek continues: another 500 miles encompassing Chicago, which to be fair was done as the sun was coming up and the rain coming down so likely as not i didn't get its good side ,out of there and the past snow storm (Winter storm Saturn , I'm learning) is very evident with drift bigger that 2 cars (proper 4x4 cars not little cars like Skodas,for example),but the rain continues and hopefully will wash some of it away.

Saw a sign to "Law Enforcement Officers Memorial " clearly had to pull off .
A few points here:
1. This is in the equivalent of Junction 8 (M20) or Clacketts ie a service area.
2. The memorial itself was not defaced ,damaged etc
3.The people that were there were reading it .

        Make your own mind up but I do not think such a monument would last in our service stations.

The stones are around 6 ft tall so its quite an impressive memorial to Police officers .

 

And Just to show some snowy pics and some which i thought were amusing 

I would love to come back in the summer......

   

 

Brilliant.......

 

SNOW !!!!!!!
