Burr Ridge resident Mickey Straub's 50 Capitols in 50 Days trip is three days and seven capitols old. Here are a few highlights found on the 50 Capitols and 50 Days Facebook page from Days 2 and 3 (Day 1 highlights here):
- Mickey posed with Honest Abe himself at the state capitol in Montpelier, Vt. (The one I never remembered in my grade school days.)
- He posted a few pictures of some folks he's meeting along his journey.
- A busy Day 3 (Thursday) was outlined. Mickey began in Concord, N.H., traveled to Boston, and finished in Providence.
- A video was posted that lays out the rationale behind Mickey's trip. (In case you haven't been following.)
No new media reports featuring Straub have been posted since Day 1, but Huffington Post on Wednesday picked up Burr Ridge Patch's original story about the trip.
