Getting to Sheboygan from O’Hare using public transportation – A challenge

The other day I was arriving at O’Hare where I was to meet a friend and we would take his car to Sheboygan. His flight was delayed and eventually cancelled. My options were to stay overnight at an airport hotel, work my way towards downtown Chicago and surprise my son, or find a way to get to Sheboygan using public transportation. I love a good challenge so the last option seemed like a good challenge.

Bing’s Sweet Corn

I can still remember the first time I went to Bing Drewry’s farm to help him harvest sweet corn. It was more than a decade ago, when I was a young farmer and Bing was an old man living on the Drewry homestead down on Winooski Road. He was a nice neighbor who I was just getting acquainted with, and our shared love of growing vegetables led us to become good friends in his last years of life.
