So, now I'm faced with Amtrak... and I'd have to come in Early...
The biggest problem is that I have to be there between 4-9 if I come in the day before... but... the cheapest two trains that will stop in Galesburg are 1030 am (arriving galesburg) and 842pm (arriving galesburg )
The only thing about the bus is depending on how mnay stops they have and lay overs It could take longer then the train.
What am I supposed to do all day in a town I know nothing about... or rather, how am I going to get to Monmouth College in time before it closes.
They'll provide a shuttle... I'm so lost!

Nope!
I volunteer in a program called Illinois Teen Institute. I'm a staff member, and we have our camp at a college... This year and last year it was at Monmouth... which is about a half hour drive from the border of Indiana.

If it were me I'd find the library and be so lost in a book they'd have to throw me out when the day was over!
I find books even mmore addicting than quilting or reading this board (if you can imagine that!)
