32nd Annual Monarch Grand Prix

Marooned in Montego

On The Road

Recently I had to travel back home to Wood River Il. Circumstances beyond my control forced me to make a drive from Las Vegas to good ole Wood River. I had never made the drive down the long Highway 70. With a loaded Subaru and a lot of caffeine my girlfriend and I made the trip in about 30 hours. My schedule didn't permit me to get out and photograph much. I wanted to get a shot of my mom's house where I lived in her basement. I also rambled around and found a good "For Sale" shot. We didn't get to stay long and had to drive back almost fast as we came. I took the opportunity to use the Polaroid I brought to shoot a couple series through Kansas and
Colorado. The scenes of our country side were too beautiful to pass up. The Polaroids I'll scan one day but here are a couple of the shots I took with my digital.

My mom and dad's house in Wood River, IL
