Route 130 is a state highway which unlike Route 66, winds not from Chicago to L.A., but from Urbana to Grayville, Ill. It's a road I travel frequently and these are some of the very obscure little towns along that route (my personal versions of "St.Louie, Jopolin, Missouri, etc."). Cruising the open road is cruising the open road, even in a pre-owned Ford.

The Route 130 boogie

Camargo, Hildalgo,

Lerna, Trilla, Janesville,

Dundas, West Liberty,

Parkersburg and Ste. Marie.

In the country with no load,

Passing places on the road.

Wide spots on a two lane,

Scoot by like a speeding plane.

Little places

in the stix,

Seem like stops on 66

Calhoun, Claremont,

Berryville, Bone Gap,

Samsville, Mount Erie

Wynoose and Ellery.
