The previous tag at an entrance to the Sandwich Fair. Everything is all locked up since the fair, normally held this next week, is a COVID casualty.
The new tag a bit south and west of Sandwich. This is a shoe tree. Many shoes up in the tree with the leaves obscuring the view.

You must of slipped that by while I was trying to get the technology to work so I could post! But I did notice your pic did not match exactly. Is that OK?

It’s the same place which I believe is the point. You can see the same type entrance sign in the upper right of your pic. However, I don’t care either way. The N IL tag has been dormant for so long, get either new tag and keep it going!!
Greg
Interesting how those trees can sprout so many different kinds of shoes! What happened to your FJ?

Paul, sitting in the garage and not liking this COVID crap as much as me! It’s slated for AR while the Versys will do WI. Not a great year for miles!
Greg
A closed Bridge detour and some cloud cover cost me some sunlight but a BUG run after dinner is better than NO run at all!!
Old tag was a shoe tree at JCT 23 & 52 North of Ottawa IL
New Tag if you can't make out the sign reads Kendall County Fair Grounds.

Mondo & Cyclenut57, I'm happy to see that you have gotten my 'mess' straightened up 
. Good to get the tag back on track. Sometime in the future I'll make another trip to the north at another attempt. Safe riding.

The new tag. Good thing it was closed or I’d be face down in the ditch!

The sun finally showed itself after a week off above the cloud cover.
Old Tag Whiskey Acres (got a chuckle out of the JB sign, had to share)
New Tag back a little SE. Bring Sandwich with you in case you get hungry.
This may be my first TAG on the Pumpkin!

The previous tag. An artillery piece at a memorial in Sandwich.
The new tag a bit south and west. Student Abe. Get there quickly before some yahoos pull it down. Tough to Google because of the flap over Abe at UW Madison. Town is the same name as Abe.

Got time off from my Covid-infected facility. Old tag in Lincoln. Notice no parking spots nearby. Had to get the bike on a sidewalk. Not sure I could have gotten as close as Mondo without tipping.
New tag a little west and north. If you're lucky, you might get a sight of these--a squadron of pelicans.
N.B. about 2 miles of gravel to get to the site, not bad.

Good on ya, Bill. Welcome back. Was hoping placing it there would bring some back to the game. Ride safe!
Greg
Glad I double checked before I sped off to see Abe!!
Nice move DOCW1
A little rain along the River Route but dry at the old tag Lock & Dam 17. The dry gravel dust doesn’t look good on black but still miles of smiles!
The new Tag same as the IL-AZ "Z" Game back toward the east some at the Junction

The previous tag at a restaurant/bar pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Good thing it was closed because it looks like a fun place.
The new tag. I love the murals all along the original Lincoln Highway.

Nice day for a ride, but I'm still not ready for a Ride-to-eat. Old tag was in, obviously, Oregon Illinois, Nice drive from Dixon to there, after a sprint up I88. I guess state troopers have pulled back because some folks, not necessarily me, tend to travel very fast 
New tag is a bit west.
