30-Sep-2000 -- This confluence, 40 north 88 west is
located in east central Illinois farm country near the town of Homer. We
located Bob, Ron and John Umbarger and received permission to photograph
the confluence located in one of their bean fields. The Umbargers farm
about 1500 acres of corn and beans.
Photograph two is looking due north from the confluence. The small
red object on the horizon is the Umbarger combine shelling corn, blown
down by some recent high winds. Photograph 3 is looking southeast from
the confluence at a radio tower. Photograph four is looking northeast
at the Umbarger farm buildings. Photograph 1 is looking due west from
the confluence. Picture 5 is the obligatory GPS receiver in the corn and
bean residue.
