Tuesday -- to Rantoul
Our plan was to either fly to Mackinac Island, at the top of the Great Lakes, or to fly to St. Louis, to spend a day at the Six Flags theme park. The weather would decide our course.
Neither plan worked. By the time we got off work Tuesday night, the weather was bad in *both* directions, so we defaulted to "Plan C", which amounted to "let's see how far east we can get before running out of daylight. We didn't make it far -- only to Rantoul, Illinois, before storms forced us to land for the night. Here are a few pictures from that short flight:
