What a question. Of course you should go! If it were me (and I had my
Ivory just after my daughter was born in Chicago in the '90s), I would stop
for the night in Mount Vernon, IL (about half the distance). Several good
hotels are there. Make sure you make preparations re the cold for yourself
and your car. Good luck!

*A birding friend from St. Louis sent us information about an Ivory Gull
being seen on the Mississippi River near Quincy, Illinois. Just thought
I’d post in case some Tennessee birder wanted to make a drive that far to
see a lifer. Information is on the Illinois RBA about where it is being
seen today. We’ve debated all afternoon about driving up tomorrow as we
have never seen this beautiful bird and our hearts say “go” but our old
bodies say “another foolish idea” for two people in their mid-70’s. Don’t
know which will win out tonight.*
