This contest entry was produced in advance of the 2020 IBA Silver Dome Contest for Best Weathercaster. I didn't win. Oh, well.... I gave it a shot!

This was part of a one-day trip my grandson and I completed on June 20, 2025. This is just the beginning of our journey.
You'll take the route that goes through west Champaign (to avoid the road construction blockages on the I-74 and I-57 interchange, as well as the I-72 and I-74 interchange). Scenes in Springfield take you along East Lake Drive across the Lindsey Bridge and through the LLCC campus (where I went in 1972-74).
We depart from Springfield at a location on Toronto Road (specifically, the "Motorheads" restaurant and museum), then travel west to Illinois Route 4, north on Veterans Parkway, and then north on Illinois Route 97. From there, we go northwest to Illinois Route 125, then to Beardstown and US-67, across more construction at the Beardstown Bridge over the Illinois River. From there, we travel to Macomb and the campus of Western Illinois University, where I studied from 1975 to 1977. I also include a memory of my old dorm, where I was on Mondays through Thursdays.
The final part of the series of videos begins at Western Illinois University in Macomb, heading northward to Illinois Route 9, then eastward through Bushnell and Canton, to US 24, and then along the Illinois River to I-474, eastward to I-74, and finally southeast to Normal (along Main Street and Illiinois State University) and Bloomington along Veterans Parkway (the former US-66 bypass or beltway).
I occasionally post videos on my Facebook outlets, but you can review many more on my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@DougQuickOnLine.
