Day 41- Sonora to Danville

A bit of cheating going on today as we chose to follow a shortcut
described on someone's blog. It saved us about 20miles so definitely
worth it! We passed Lincoln's birthplace memorial, where they put a
huge stone building around the tiny log cabin he was born in. That's
what I call dedication to preserving history! Nothing noteworthy
happened on the ride but we were having problems getting rooms
somewhere in Danville. We finally got 3 rooms at possibly the most
expensive motel in town, and I had to ask exactly what was going on
around here that would bring in enough people to fill up every motel.
I was told that this weekend, the 127 yard sale is on. A few seconds
silence, blank face, before I asked whether everyone living along
highway 127 was having a yard sale. I was told that yes, everyone who
lives along 127 is doing it. That would be along 600 miles of highway,
and throughout 4 states. Guess that's entertainment in America...
