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...

This miller is scraping up black top

up the conveyor belt into the

 back of a dump truck.

Eric is driving east on Interstate 80
toward Chicago.

A reminder that ethanol

The bridge has been demolished.

The bridge approach is rubble.

Eric drove to Joliet last year so

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...
