On the way to Iowa we stopped at a rest area and found this kettle. Salt springs were discovered near this spot on October 31 1819 by Joseph Barron and party, here Seymour Treat brought his family here Novemeber 27 1819 and became first settlers in Vermillon County Illinois. Can you imagine being the only family in a whole county. I'll bet they didn't make it home for Christmas either. I'm sure they were thankul to be alive at Christmas. This kettle was used in the salt works which were profitablt operated bt Major Vance from 1824 to 1831.

We saw some beautiful foliage on our way to Iowa and had some rain too. But all in all we had a wonderful trip.
If you haven't got time to do a job right, when will you have time to do it again? Think about it!
