Just south of US20 to the Wisconsin state line: 20 miles: Left the motel after the rain cleared at 6:30 A.M. Headed north on IL 120 thru Rockford, Loves Park, Machesney Park, Roscoe and finally thru South Beloit. US 51 finally rejoined IL 251 just south of the border. Continued to the Wisconsin state line, arriving at 1:35 P.M.
I was quite surprised upon arriving at the finish of my walk as a great amount of family, friends, and neighbors were there to greet me. Officer Johnson of the South Beloit police department was nice enough to give me a police escort for the last 1/4 mile of my journey. 435 miles completed... zero miles to go!!!
A special thanks to everyone who took the time out to be a part of my arrival at the end of my journey.
I would have liked to be at the finish line but just got back yesterday from the month long trip coming and going to Alaska
