The lure of the open road is only enhanced by attractions. They range from the road side variety to entire towns, but whatever the size traveling wouldn't be the same without them.

The ubiquitous bin of brochures is a familiar sight to any traveller. This one just happens to be at the Volo Auto Museum in Volo, Illinois.

Wow - there's a lot to do in Illinois John! Who knew? Great full frame capture with tons of great colors.

PS. I really didn't know you could "Rent a Harley." #5787871

Thanks so much Shell! And I didn't know, either, until I saw it in print! #5788110

Wow John, this is fabulous! Great colors and clarity here! Maybe I need to go check out that place again, haven't been since my boys were youngsters. #5788996

Lovely pattern-fullframe-and-fun picture! #5789176

John Caruso April 15, 2008

Thanks to you all!

Margie, I'm with you in welcoming photographers to the area!

Corinne, you really should give it a visit. There's a bunch to see there, even if you're not a "gearhead." Seeing one of the original television series Batmobiles is worth the drive itself!

I'm so glad you liked it Katarina! Thanks! #5790156

Sorry for the late comment...it took me two days to read all the titles and plan our trip. John, the all seeing eye! #5794387

John Caruso April 16, 2008

LOL! Thanks so much Les! #5795010

Awesome colors, comp, and subject matter, John. I've been to a few of those places, but see that I need to schedule a few other trips. Maybe we can use one of those places for our next Chicagoland BP club outing!? You can be our tour guide

LOL! Thanks Vicki! I'm telling you, we could spend a week photographing at the House on the Rock and STILL never be close to finished!

Thanks again for looking. #5823273
