It has been a long day of driving including several unnecessary slow downs in Indiana for non-existent construction. We also got our bumper damaged by rubber debris that was flying off a truck. We’re just lucky it hit the bumper and not the window.
The countryside was pretty with all the new green growth of Spring, but unexciting. The usual flat farmlands of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. We stopped for our first picnic lunch at a lovely spot — a gas station. Picnics can only get better from here.
The highlight was when we were approaching our destination of Moline, IL we followed along and eventually crossed the Mississippi River. We traveled 498 miles today; and we are about 7 miles from Iowa. Tomorrow we will travel through Iowa to Sioux Falls, South Dakota; which is 450 miles away. After this we will be ‘stopping along the way as we traverse the USA’. (dermeresque haiku)
Cats forgive us for not leaving you any dry food, but we hope that you had a purrfect day…. or maybe not.
