This picture is from my 2019 Willie and Beyond trip. That’s Willie Nile in the title and the photo. On the trip’s first day, I headed directly to Valparaiso, Indiana, to see Willie and his band in concert, then I spent three days getting home. Those three days included some time on the Lincoln Highway, Dixie Highway, and National Road, with stops at Big Thorn Farm & Brewery, Moonshine Store, Edinburgh Diner, and more. For the unenlightened, the Moonshine Store is in the unincorporated town of Moonshine, Illinois, and is known for its hamburgers.

Trip Peeks are short articles published when my world is too busy or too boring for a current events piece to be completed in time for the Sunday posting. In addition to a photo thumbnail from a completed road trip, each Peek includes a brief description of that photo plus links to the full-sized photo and the associated trip journal.
