Rory, Stefanie, and John A. Logan left the Wham building late on a Thursday afternoon for a six hour car ride to Antioch Illinois. Once they got to Antioch, IL they were all very tired from the long car ride, so they decided to spend the night at Stefanie's parents house in Antioch. The following morning, they all drove to the Hiram Buttrick Sawmill. The sawmill that is currently standing is an exact replica of the original and was built in 1976. The original sawmill was built in 1839 by Hiram Buttrick. The original was one of the only structures to remain standing through the fires that occurred in in the late 1800's and early 1900's. The original sawmill was built along a creek in the center of Antioch to make it the center of commerce.
After a wonderful day in the small town of Antioch, they eventually made the long journey back to Carbondale. John A. Logan, Stefanie, and Rory traveled a total of 774 miles. All together, John A. Logan has traveled a total of 3,205.32 miles.
