Awoke to sunshine, on the rood early. Only into the 70’s today. We are traveling I-29 to I-80 east. Today, we are passing through three states, South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois. We cross the Missouri River at the South Dakota and Iowa border one more time and finally say good-by as we travel east and it winds its way to the Mississippi River. We see multiple Wind Mill farms through Iowa. The traffic gets heavy as we move east toward Chicago along I-80. The terrain changes to looking more like Ohio with rolling hills and lots of farms including barns. Cross the Mississippi River at the border of Iowa and Illinois. We have one more time change tomorrow, bringing us back to Eastern Standard Time at home. At least 13 degrees cooler today but sun is still hot and not much fall color change yet. Staying at a Fairfield Inn in Peru, Ill. Ate dinner at Red Lobster, haven’t been in one in many years. Cheddar biscuits are still the best.
Long day of
driving tomorrow but we will be in our own beds tomorrow night.
Looking
forward to catching up with everyone.
Nightly
night.
