Richard Debates with Douglas & Lincoln


On Tuesday, March 17th Richard, Andrew, and Misty took a little trip around southern Illinois.  First Richard went back home with Andrew to Carterville to hang out before heading out on their adventure.  Richard, Andrew, and Misty went to go visit Andrew’s parents in Goreville to decide where they wanted to travel.  Richard told us that he wanted to go see the Douglas / Lincoln debate site.  We traveled from Goreville and traveled down to Jonesboro and took some pictures with Douglas and Lincoln.  The coordinates of the famous debate site is N 37 degrees, 27.496' and W 89 degrees, 16.116'.After taking some pictures and reading about the debate, Richard decided that he was hungry and wanted some ice cream from Dairy Queen.  Richard pulled out those big puppy dog eyes, which couldn’t be turned down by Andrew and Misty.  On the way to the Vienna Dairy Queen, the three of us stopped by the tombstone of King Neptune, a famous Navy mascot pig.  Richard was returned back to his home at the Carbondale campus on March 24th.   The total trip was 112.9 miles long.
