With the pandemic ongoing, it appears that the annual Spoon River Drive, a scenic tour of the Spoon River area during what should be the peak of fall colors, is in jeaporday. Susan and I decided to take a drive through the area to see what we could see on our own Spoon River Drive. We visited a couple of key elements of the drive, Cuba and Ellisville Illinois. Both towns are typical of small town USA. Peaceful and laid back are 2 terms that come to mind when you see the pics. We had the good fortune of speaking with a gentleman in Ellisville, and he gave us a little info about the village that I will share on the pics involved. I hope you enjoy the images I have posted, and I hope you can be inspired to use on of your Sunday afternoons to take a Spoon River Road Trip
