Dashpoint Name: Somonauk on Lake, Full Drive by Younger

Sorry for the lateness of the report, but there have been MANY things going on this month. The wife has a recurring hip pain - again; the older son had a separate medical procedure; and the three Illinois members of the family went to visit the Orlando son and his fiance. To say it's been busy would be an understatement. But we did find some time to do some driving with the younger son - a full 2 hour stint straight - where he took us out to the dashpoint in question and back. While this wasn't going to be the most likely score of the month, it was a better opportunity for driving that the other likely candidate in toward the city.

After miles of country driving, we came up to the Lake Holiday Campground and Lake Holiday Marina with many permanent homes surrounding Lake Holiday. The dashpoint lies some 110 meters into the water, so without a boat on the marina, it was unlikely that we'd ever score the dashpoint. However, we did take a picture of the geodesic domed house that can be seen on Google Earth at 41.625625, -88.661442.

So Zero Points for Markwell and Trailblazers, but still a great trip.
