#HappyNewYear Returning from a stay w/ my sisters & quick visit to Wesley Glen where Mom enjoys excellent care. Heading through South Central Illinois on our way back to Missouri, we stopped for a bathroom break in Vandalia. Last time, post-Thanksgiving, we went south a few blocks to check out the Old Illinois Statehouse, one of few existing original governmental buildings in Illinois. 1st state capitol @Kaskaskia after yrs. of Mississippi meanders & flooding is left with only blufftop cemetery.

@JKPsaras Here’s a link to their fb group, https://facebook.com/events/s/cars-coffee-kansas-speedway/951690116446564/ I don’t have any great info to share regarding a photowalk at the Kansas Speedway Cars and Coffee, since I don’t have a great local network. Unless you are interested in helping organize. I organized and led nine walks in 2013 with photographers when I was living in New York.
