Kid Jarret goes to Jail

I always take my Wednesday drive by myself, but this week I got to take Kid Jarret. We made a pit stop to the Franklin County Jail Museum. The Jail is amazing it serves two purposes. People come to see the old jail and find information about visiting Southern Illinois. We traveled 16. 6 miles in my car. The building is located in Benton, IL with latitude coordinates of 37.99 and longitude of 88.92. He was scared when we walked to the end of the hallway. It got colder and the jail portion scared us. We turned around and decided to play it safe by reading the material around the room.

Kid Jarrett visits Jeff and his family

The weather in southern Illinois had Kid Jarrett stranded at Jeff's house. During his extended stay, he nursed Jeff through the flu. The 'kid' also met Jeff's dog. However, the 'Kid' was so well behaved that Jeff's wife thought she would like to have a small dog of her own, so the 'Kid' met the new puppy as well. Jeff told everyone that the Kid was a good house guest. He didn't eat much food and was pretty pleasant company.

Kid found that he didn't much care for the ice and snow in the area. Sledding is not on his list of favorite things to do. Although, Jeff did take him to Zeigler, IL to see a memorial. It was the American Legion Post 177 War Memorial. It is dedicated to fallen war heroes. He and Jeff traveled safely there by automobile as no horses were allowed. The memorial is located at -89 degrees longitude and 37 degrees latitude. If anyone wants to check out the website for Zeigler. It can be found at zeigler.com. Jeff told the "Kid" that they travel 43 miles to visit the memorial. It seemed a lot longer to the Kid.
