Day 13 (Thursday, 9/22) - Summary

Back on foot, I cross the Lincoln Memorial Bridge at the approximate site of the Lincoln family's ferry crossing of 1830; there's a fine memorial on the Illinois side. I walk to Lawrenceville instead of my original planned goal of Robinson, and enjoy an excellent meal at a Chinese restaurant on the town square.
