<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-family:Arial">I was up
late for breakfast but I was still able to pack my lunch. Circle-up must have
happened when I was tearing down my tent. The route information didn’t come up
on my phone overnight. Ed suggested that we
take Butterfield Road, which had a Prairie Path beside it. I took the path until it disappeared, then I
got out on Hwy 56 and made my way into Oak Park. I stopped at a McDonalds to
see if I could get the directions through my phone on WiFi. I got them and
discovered that the Prairie Path was several miles north of me. I got </span><span style="font-family:Arial">directions from </span><span style="font-family:Arial">a pair
of policemen on how to get back on the Prairie Path. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-family:Arial"><br></span></p>
<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial">When I
got on the Prairie Path I discovered some local people setting up a rest stop
for the Marchers. I was early, but they welcomed me. I knew the address of the church so I got
on that street and headed east until I got to it. It was built by Frank Lloyd
Wright. They were giving tours of the building all afternoon. Michael Dowd was scheduled to give
a presentation at 7pm. Ed Fallon had invited me to a Home-stay, so I got my
overnight belongings out of the gear truck. We left before the campsite had
dinner, and missed Michael Dowd’s presentation. I accompanied Ed and Doug to
our host’s house. It was 4 blocks away from the church. Both Norman and Ann, our hosts, were lawyers. There was some detailed discussion about how elected officials are
monopolizing and misusing the city of Chicago’s resources. As usual there was also an opportunity to do laundry, to take a bath in a tub, and sleep on a bed. People have been opening their doors to us all across this great land. </span> </div></div></span><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">-- <br><div dir="ltr">Peace, David</div>
