Day 3 - Mon May 3 2010 - Dwight, IL to Litchfield, IL


The weather was great riding weather - Sunny, and no wind for once. Our first stop was the Dwight Railroad Station which is on the old GM&O line and has several Amtrak trains. Just south of Dwight is the town of Odell, and the site of the historic Standard Oil Service Station from 1930. After several photos of our motorcycles lined up it was off again on the old road.

Our lunch stop today was in the town of Atlanta, with some fantastic murals on the sides of buildings, all very 30's style and just classic. Lunch was in the Plum Cafe (same spot as last year) on Arch Street next to the towns museum, a very friendly place and one well worth the stop on Route 66. As well Atlanta is the mid way point between Chicago and St. Louis on Route 66.
