Eclipse 2024 from Southern Illinois. Du Quoin State Fair Park. 4 Min of totality #eclipse #illinois
We went into the path of the Eclipse. April 8 2024. This is our experience
We chose to be near Carbondale but not actually in the big crowds and worry about parking for the day.
We found Du Quoin Illinois State Fair Park with Plenty of room and facilities for everyone, and a free event, right on Highway 51.
We took time to have breakfast at a local dinner, Looked around downtown, and went to the fairgrounds to claim our spot around 10am.
This video will show how we experienced the once-in-a-lifetime (maybe) event.
No traffic coming down to speak of, but plenty on the way home, but we had scheduled an extra travel day so no worries here.
Enjoy.

Illinois State Fair Carnival Rides at Night
Filmed on Saturday August 19 2023, I check out the carnival rides at The Illinois State Fair to see what's going on.
The first Illinois State Fair was celebrated in 1853 in Springfield. In that first year, the admission fee was 25 cents.
The Illinois State Fair was held almost every summer during this more than 150-year-long period. On a few occasions it was suspended. In 1893, for example, the organizers of the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago prepared to offer a larger lineup of agricultural products and machinery, so the Illinois State Fair canceled itself for one year.
The Illinois State Fair, like many state fairs, moved during the first 40 years of its life, 1853–1892, from place to place. It was celebrated as far north as Freeport and as far south as Du Quoin. In 1894, the State of Illinois began to use a 156-acre parcel of land on the northern boundary of Springfield, which became the heart of the permanent Illinois State Fairgrounds. A grandstand and racetrack were built, and the first auto races were held at the Illinois State Fairgrounds Racetrack in 1910. The fairground site was expanded to its current 366-acre dimensions in 1924.
Starting with the end of World War II, the growth of productivity in agriculture began to reduce the number of jobs in American farming, both as a percentage of total population and in absolute numbers. State fairs began to transition themselves from agricultural trade shows to entertainment operations.
The Illinois State Fair played a key role in the popularization of the corn dog, starting in 1946.
In Illinois, the State Fair Grandstand, originally built as a place to watch harness racing (and still used for that purpose as of 2023) became a venue for concerts and recitals. The state fair circuit became a recognized part of the overall live-music industry for many performers.
The Illinois State Fairgrounds now contains more than 100 permanent buildings. In addition, participants set up countless pavilions and trailers during the period the State Fair is in operation. The Illinois State Fair is operated by the Illinois Department of Agriculture, which states in the state's official Illinois Blue Book that the purpose of the State Fair is to showcase Illinois agriculture and offer wholesome family entertainment.
The fair has long been noted for its annual butter cow, a life-size animal formed of pure butter applied to an armature by a sculptor wielding an oversized palette knife.

Harley CVO motorcycle roadtrip vlog: Hideout for America's first serial killers!
#harley #motorcycle #roadtrip #americana #harleydavidson #southernillinois #travelwithrichardandjudy #biker #bikers #bikerchick #ladyrider #travel #cave #heels #ozarks
We head out from Carbondale, IL June 2022 going east through Creal Springs, Ozark, Golconda, Elizabethtown IL before arriving at Cave in Rock, IL on the Ohio River. We see a momma and baby deer then grab luch at the state park restaurant. We learn that the 1950's Disney movie Davy Crockett and the River Pirates was filmed starring Fess Parker and Buddy Ebsen which we are old enough to remember! After lunch we tour the cave which was used as a hideout from 1790's to 1840's by all sorts of reprobates including highwaymen, counterfeiters, murderers, kidnappers and river pirates the most infamous of which were Samuel Mason and Americas first recorded serial killers, the Harpe Brothers, Micajah and Wiley also known as Big and Little. Before heading home, we grab a funnel cake from the food truck at the ferry.

Driving Around Small Town Ottawa, Illinois in 4k Video
Filmed on Friday, July 7 2023, I drive around the village Ottawa, IL to see what's going on.
Ottawa was the site of the first of the Lincoln–Douglas debates on August 21, 1858. During the Ottawa debate, Stephen A. Douglas, leader of the Democratic Party, accused Abraham Lincoln of forming a secret bipartisan group of Congressmen to bring about the abolition of slavery.
Ottawa was a major stop on the Underground Railroad because of its rail, road, and river transportation. Citizens in the city were active within the abolitionist movement.
Ottawa was also important in the development of the Illinois and Michigan Canal, which terminates in LaSalle, Illinois, 12 miles to the west.
On February 8, 1910, William Dickson Boyce, then a resident of Ottawa, incorporated the Boy Scouts of America.
In 1922, the Radium Dial Company moved from Peru, Illinois to a former high school building in Ottawa. The company employed hundreds of young women who painted watch dials using a paint called Luna, which contained ionizing radiation. The young women, who had been told the paint was harmless, ingested deadly amounts of radium after being instructed to lick their paintbrushes to sharpen them. This was chronicled in the 1986 documentary Radium City.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency began removing contaminated material in 1986. The work continues to this day.
Sixteen areas of Ottawa are still radioactive. The United States Department of Health and Human Services released a study, outlining areas where contamination by radium-226, as well as emissions of radon-222, are at or above normal levels. These areas include homes, public areas, schools, and even a car sales lot that is housed directly over the old Radium Dial Company site.
Because of numerous silica sand deposits, Ottawa has been a major sand and glass center for more than 100 years. One of Ottawa's largest employers is Pilkington Glass works, a plant which manufactures specialty glass and underwent a $50 million renovation in 2006. Ottawa sand continues to be extracted from several quarries in the area, and is recognized in glass-making and abrasives for its uniform granularity and characteristics.
As of the 2020 Census, there were 18,840 people living in the city.
The racial makeup of the city was 86.4% White, 2.5% African American, 0.4% Native American, 1.0% Asian, 2.5% from other races, and 7.1% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 9.5% of the population.
The median income for a household in the city was $53,544, and the per capita income for the city was $28,365. There were 16.8% of the population living below the poverty line.
