Rock River sunset in Dixon, Illinois

A few miles upriver for where I took this picture, Ronald "Dutch" Reagan worked as a lifeguard on the Rock River in Dixon, Illinois' Lowell Park. On Monday I drove the entire Ronald Reagan Trail. Sometime in the next two days I will formally kick off my series on the trip. But for now we will make do with a Rock River sunset photograph.
