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!

Subject: [TN-Bird] Ivory Gull
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.
