Driving East to Illinois

Eric paid the bill for our motorhome's hydraulic jacks and slide out systems checkup at HWH in Moscow, Iowa.  We start our drive east to Illinois.







Eric drives past Iowa 80: The
World's Biggest Truckstop.













Crossing the Mississippi River...











... into Illinois.







This miller is scraping up black top
& moving the broken pavement
up the conveyor belt into the
 back of a dump truck.








Eric is driving east on Interstate 80
toward Chicago.
















A reminder that ethanol
is renewable.









The bridge has been demolished.

The bridge approach is rubble.









94 miles to Joliet...

Eric drove to Joliet last year so
I could see the Old Joliet Prison.












This barn looks abandoned.








The Peru water tower dwarfs
the power pole at its base.







Ottawa, the site of the first
Lincoln-Douglas debate






The Family Restaurant sign
is askew... 








It's so flat here.









The Morris water tower









And here we are...

Our overnight spot
