West of Carbondale is Murphysboro where we use to see movies on the cheap at this theater
I ate a hardy breakfast at my friends house in Carterville at 6:30am. I need to take in between 5,000 and 6,000 calories per day so just like Hobbits, I need a 2nd breakfast everyday. Great sandwich at Faye in Murphysboro
Originally called Decoration Day, it was formalized by a “Memorial Day Order” issued by Grand Army of the Republic Commander-in-Chief John A. Logan in 1868. Logan was from Murphysboro
Today's ride: 60 miles (97 km)
Total: 1,060 miles (1,706 km)
