Lots of cornfields in Illinois, that's for sure. My mom grew up in Colfax. We drove to see the family grave plot one year when we were up there. You could tell where the next town was by the tiny little grain elevator on the horizon. Otherwise.....corn. Can't really tell what he's hauling. The ambulance driver undoubtedly has southern relations. He may have been en route back to the staging area when he saw a great deal in someone's front yard. "Hey Earl! Stop the vehicle. I need me one o'them ridin' mowers and look - it even comes with a trailer!" Or, "Hey Bubba - lookee there! I bet some fool broke his laig while 4wheelin' and now he's sellin' the whole kaboodle. Let's take a look see!" LOL! Definitely not your everyday drive home visual. LOL! Lots of cornfields in Illinois, that’s for sure. My mom grew up in Colfax.
