I remember my first trip. Flew to Chicago then drove to St. Charles to look for a room on the first night. Dumb
all motels were full but every parking lot had trucks and trailers, many U-haul box trucks, pickup trucks and trailers packed full with machines, gas pumps, signs, some covered with tarps, others not.
Finally found a room 20 miles outside of town but couldn't sleep.........wondering what was under all those tarps
