TRIBUTE TO OLYMPIC ATHLETES

Yesterday morning, my first appointment was in a small town called Virden. I decided to spend Tuesday night in Jacksonville, Illinois. Jacksonville is an unremarkable small city in Illinois. Unlike two days ago when I began a morning walk in the pre-dawn hours, yesterday I began my walk at sunrise. By 8:15AM I was back in my room, having already taken a 2.5 hour hike of 11.36 miles. I passed lots of farmland, a Nestlés processing plant, a couple of parks and schools - but not much else.  Still it was a great feeling to have 'banked' 20,000 fitbit steps before most people have their first cup of coffee in the morning.

It wasn't until I arrived in Champaign to settle into yet another hotel, that I finally found something interesting. I arrived at my hotel around 7:00PM and there was still enough sunlight to take an evening walk. So I did. During my urban hike, I 'discovered' the Champaign Park District Tribute to Olympic Athletes.

from wikipedia...

The "Tribute to Olympic Athletes" was created to honor those residents of Champaign County who have competed in the Olympics. To date 41 athletes are commemorated on the monument since the tribute's dedication on July 4, 1991. The monument consists of several rising plateaus forming a walkway leading to a large granite gateway. Beyond the gateway a pedestal overlooking the playing fields in Dodds Park is inscribed with the names of those who have represented Champaign County in the Olympics.

This is my long shadow as it was very late in the day.
