On Tuesday, November 6, 2007, Mary, Anne, and I traveled to Jonesboro, Illinois. We traveled 22.1 miles to the Lincoln Memorial Picnic grounds. This park is part of the Shawnee National Forest. The park is the sight of the third series of senate debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas. In the park there is a monument where Mary, Anne, and I got our picture taken. Besides the monument, the park has picnic shelters, a gazebo, and a pond. The park is used by a lot of locals for recreation. There are a few walking trails and with the beauty of the park it makes for an enjoyable exercise. The park is located -89.268 longitude and 37.455 latitude. Once we took a few laps around the pond, we loaded up the car to return back home. On our way out of the park, I realized I had a flat tire. We waited on my father and while we waited we played on the playground equipment. Once the tire had been changed, we piled back into the car and traveled the 22.1 miles back to Carbondale. Mary and Anne have now traveled a total of 3298.28 miles.
