Just to set this up a little. My wife joined a "shopping show" on the radio and they have discounts for just about everything including hotels. I told her to look for someplace we could ride to. They had an overnight stay at a comfort inn in Fulton Il. So I mappd out a route to take us into Dubuque Iowa where we would stop at the county fair that was gong on an then head south riding alng the Mississippi River to Clinton Iowa and across the river to Fulton, Il. We left home at about 10:30 or so and headed west, i mapped most of the trip on scenic routes, here are a few pics.
Off we went
First gas stop
Dont ask
Crossing the Mississippi into Iowa
Some of the scenery
GPS dont tell ya about this kind of crap, the wife said if I got enough speed I could have jumped it..YEAH
more scenery
crossing back over the Mississippi into Il
the hotel
DAMN GPS! 2 miles of gravel road!
the road home
Fun trip, about 400 miles, no rain, no break downs and always an adventure.
