Day 52 – Shelbyville, IL to Whispering Oaks Campground, Robinson, IL
10/2/2026
Today’s route was set up to be 80.6 miles, but since we stopped short of our intended target the night before, was a few miles longer. It was Greg’s turn to drive the truck and Mark chose to ride in the truck due to his toe injury. The bikers (John & Rolf) ate breakfast, made lunch at the Shelbyville Inn, and headed out.
Greg & Mark went out for breakfast at a local restaurant.
The route took us through Casey, IL where an eccentric person has collected many of the “world’s largest” things. There’s the world’s largest mailbox, barber pole, bird cage, pitch fork and many others.
The end point for today’s ride was Whispering Oaks Campground, outside of Robinson, IL. We are finding that many of these mainly RV campgrounds are nearly full of RV’s, many of them not currently occupied. They also seem to be serving as temporary homes for local seasonal employees in the area. It’s a curious culture.
