I’ve made the trip on a similar path. And I venture near Chicago often these days to visit my son, stationed close by. I’ve always loved the Elkhart water tower that’s visible from 80/90 — the silhouette of an elk and a heart behind it. I don’t know the history of the town or its naming, but the tower just seems so damn quintessential.
Great story, love these pieces of Americana.
