South on 7th Street  Fence at Land Fill could use some TLC   Land Fill entrance (click link for refuse tune ;)  )   Dwight coasts ahead Never have we seen a bicycle coast like that one does On even the slightest downhill it coasts right past us I asked what his secret is -- "never touched those hubs in 20 some years"  !!!!!!!  Grain bins After a Shriner-like circling, Dave decides we are going that way Long abandoned corn crib This one used wire to contain the corn -- most resembled a barn with gaps between the siding boards Seldom, if ever, used these days   Old tractor now displayed in honor of its years of service Grain bins -- older, smaller units on the left Quarter mile ride west on IL Rt 9 This was to avoid a half mile of gravel Bill wrote about in 2011   Road into Cheneyville   Farmall Tractor   Short break -- remembering to photo the bicycles this time   One of the 3 Streets   Frog-eyed International Tractor   Interesting weathered tree roots Been a while since you
