white squirrel, Lincoln Logs, buffalo burger

On Sunday we decided to drive 2 and 1/2 hours to attempt to see the Olney albino squirrels. Though the town claims they are quite commong they aren't abundant in public places. We were very lucky and saw ONE. After taking lots of pictures and feeding peanuts we continued to walk around the park and when we came back it was gone. Boy were we lucky. On the way down we also stopped at Lincoln's parents last residence. It was pretty cool. They had volunteers who acted like the former residents. Felt some freshly sheared wool. It has lanolin so it feels all lotiony. On the way home we stopped in Matoon and my vegetarian father had beef brisket (which he said was one of the best meals ever) and I had a buffalo burger (which was extremely yummy).
Look for pictures in the next post.
