The Mug Tree
Hwy 49
Yale, Illinois

While in Illinois for the Moonshine Lunch Run, I went by to give Bertie Williams a couple more mugs for the tree. I learned previously that her husband had a house built on top to replace the missing greenery. Hard to see in the photo, but the stub of a limb facing the camera is topped off by a tractor seat!

Thanks, Ray. I remember reading somewhere over a year ago that it was being doctored a little bit. How cute is that little house! So glad that it’s still intact 
The Moonshine Run has been on my “to do” list for a few years and something has always prevented me from going … hopefully I’ll be able to make it in 2012.
