Location
300 17000e Rd N, Momence, IL 60954; address conveniently converted from the GPS coordinates by the very useful website http://stevemorse.org/jcal/latlon.php; this can be read by my GPS enabled phone's software, as opposed to the actual coordinates. This turned out to be a farm ~60 miles south of Chicago, almost on the IL-IN border.
