 The
first picture of the day is near Belvidere, IL, where US 20 goes close, but
not quite, to IL 76. |
 US
20 has a business route in Freeport. |
 The
Freeport bypass US 20. |
 US
20 West at IL 73. |
 Pretty
scenery on US 20. This is one of the most scenic parts of the state
right here. |
 Route
20 is a great road west of Freeport. |
 More
prettiness on Route 20 WB. |
 A
sharp curve on US 20. |
 US
20 in Elizabeth. This is a quaint little town, no? |
 IL
84 and the Great River Road join US 20 here. |
 A
lookout tower on US 20 and IL84. You can see a lot of the area from
this tower. |

on US 20 and IL 84 West. |
 Coming
up on the historic and pretty town of Galena. |
 Approaching
downtown Galena. Galena has levels because there are high hills right
in town. The place is cool enough for Ulysses S. Grant to have made
his home here. |
 Looking
up at another level of Galena. |
 The
Old Market House in Galena. I don't necessarily know the significance
of this house. |
 More
Galena. |
 This
is Galena's tourist corridor, where there are lots of antique shops and
coffee/candy stores. |
 The
Galena water tower. |
 End
IL 84 at the Wisconsin line. This was just a little side trip to
clinch IL 84. |
 US
20 West where the expressway to Dubuqe begins. The old alignment
follows the westbound lanes and the eastbound lanes are new construction.
By new, I mean in the scheme of things. This is an old freeway. |
 The
US 20 expressway. |
 Keeping
on going |
 US
20 has a wide median here. |
 The
speed limit reduces from 65 to 55 here, as we get close to E. Dubuque. |
 A
scene on US 20. |
 US
20 splits to the right, and immediately crosses the Mississippi, while IL 35
curves northward for a few miles until the state line. IL 35 is one
of, if not the, shortest state highways in Illinois. |
 North
IL 35 in East Dubuque. |
 A
scene on IL 35 North. |
