Joliet, IL to Davenport, Iowa

Moving on to Davenport so we can catch up with David & Mimi again who have just come back from England.


The weather has turned overnight with more than a 20 degree drop from the 80's into the 60's and there is a definite chill in the air but not too bad.

The way is along the I80 in almost a straight line and we have done this previously.  At this time of year the crops are all being harvested and the equipment is huge.  Maize & Soya beans mostly.

We choose a camp and make sure it is not by the river as there is flooding up further in Iowa at the moment & the Mississippi runs right through here.  Later we pick up some goods at the supermarket and head over to David & Mimi's to enjoy a great night with them and their oldest son, Luke.
