Pickle Run
Autumn is just around the corner so Mrs. C and I did our annual Pickle Run to Von Bergan’s Farm Stand in Hebron, IL yesterday. Besides a half bushel of cukes that Mrs. C will start canning next week, we grabbed some dill, onions, peppers, sweet corn, blueberries, and, for me, fresh cheese curds.
![]() Believe it or not, NE Illannoy has some great country roads for riding and we took them. You can still smell Dairy Air and fresh mown hay; both scents of my youth. Sadly, Dairy Air is being replaced by the factory farm smell of cow $h!t, but that’s another rant. After the farm stand, we rolled across the state line into Wisconsin to avoid the headache known as the US12/IL173 crossroad in Richmond, IL. The other reason was to avoid making a left turn from US12 into our lunch stop. Lunch was at one of the few remaining Dog n Suds drive in restaurants left in the US. Still has cute girls as car hops. Mrs. C had her Coney Dog(there’s another story), I had a hot dog. ![]() I told Mrs. C to smile, not thinking she’d be looking into the sun, hence the chipmunk cheeks. The Camaro next to us was a Z28. Maybe we will run up in the DeSoto next week. We ran different back roads home, many I used to bicycle on when I did solo centuries. We managed to almost burn through a tank of fuel but now the house has that smell of dill and fresh veggies.
