Northwest... to Forest City, Iowa

Eric goes through his cockpit
checklist before we leave the
Walmart Supercenter in
Belvidere, Illinois.






The first leg of our drive will be on back roads through Illinois and Wisconsin to the Dultuh Trading Company Outlet Store in Belleville.

We make a lot of turns

on secondary roads

this morning.

The Boone County Fairgrounds
sign is topped by statues of a
horse & a pony.

A church rises up out

of a field of corn.

The rose window reminds me of Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral in Toledo, Ohio.

Welcome to Wisconsin

Buy your Fireworks Here.

We drove through Beloit.

The Walmart Supercenter here

does not allow overnight RV

parking at their store.

I found the listing for the store on OvernightRVParking.com,  I called and asked if overnight parking is allowed.  The answer is still, "No."  It was worth the phone call.  Sometimes a store that don't allow overnight parking change its policy and welcome RVers who are passing through their area.

Southern Wisconsin is

farm country.

One of the many pics I

took of farms today.

 

Two bicyclists are out for

 a morning ride.

Church in Brooklyn

I like Wisconsin's colorful

Adopt-A-Highway sign.

I'm surprised to see so
many people waiting for
the Duluth Trading Co.
Outlet Store to open.

Crossing the Mississippi

River.

The sky is getting greyer
& greyer as we enter
Iowa.

Phillips 66 Gas is being

sold at the Flying J in

Evansdale. 

Eric is also topping off
our water tank here.

Here comes the rain...

Twenty minutes later...
the sky clears.

Iowa's colorful Adopt-A-

Highway sign

The road north is gently
undulating.

US Route 218 North

Route 27 North is called

The Avenue of the Saints.

I love windmills!

Somebody, turn down the sun!

If I had a TV remote, I would

turn down the brightness

of this moment.

Forest City...

Our 327 mile drive is
about to end.

We are parking at the

Winnebago Visitor

Center.

Eric parked our motorhome
near the Winnebago Tour
Buses.





Winnebago provides 50 amp electric hookups for customers who come in for service.  DirecTV reception is great here.  Using USB Wifi antennas, we have use of Winnebago's free Wifi.

I really like this site.  It is very long and I can park the Jeep in front of it..  Some slots are short and RVers park their cars in another part of the parking lot.
