I'm on the phone with JAKE! He's on I-57 in Illinois, 70 miles outside of Champaign, where he'll pick up I-39. He's excited because he's going to be passing by Rockford, of Rockford Files fame.
He also passed the biggest crucifix ever, which just said THE CROSS - TRUCKERS WELCOME.
Tennessee gas stations had small sausages for sale called "Li'l Chubs."

Posted by: sherpa melissa at April 11, 2005 07:36 PMJake passed by my house too (though I'm 30-40 minutes off both of those highways). Suffice to say, I've driven on both highways a lot, and made lots of trips through Champaign myself (including a month ago). Where is he heading, HWG?
Jake is on his way to Minneapolis, yah. None of us really knows why. I'm not sure he does, either.
