Day 6
Long 6 mile run today, with an extra 2 miles of walking at the end of it, takes me to a total of 28 miles so far. Today's route took me along the wooded roads of Hinsdale and Peru, specifically Frank Schnopp Road, and George Schnopp Road. I saw those roads on the map and thought - there's a story, I'll just look those two names up! A lot harder to find anything out than you might think -- all of the links lead to real estate listings (if you're up for purchasing some property near some nice waterfront in Western Mass, there might be a place for you)
Still don't know who the Schnopps were, except for one Frank Schnopp who was a businessman in the area. Next time I meet anyone from Hinsdale I'll find out for you.
Here's a nice view of what the local roads look like
