Another easy map day -- just pick up I-74 south and east from Davenport, IA, across a little of Iowa, a lot of Illinois, a bunch of Indiana, and some of Kentucky to Lexington. 521 miles.
The scenery was green, green, green! Evidently there has been copious rain for the last few weeks. All of the rivers, ponds and lakes shown signs of having recovered from whatever shortfall they may have had last year. Almost all were flooding to some extent.
The high spot of the day had to wait until about 8:30 tonight when we finally arrived and got checked in, then headed out for dinner. As luck would have it, there is a Cracker Barrel just across the street, so we walked over (need exercise, right?) and, to celebrate our return to the South, had a fried chicken liver dinner complete with greens and vinegar, sweet potato casserole, coleslaw, mashed taters with brown gravy, biscuits and cornbread. Yum! Staggered home.....
We plan to drive all the way home tomorrow, no matter how long it takes to go the 500 or so miles!
Sorry about the lack of pictures, but there just wasn't anything that motivated us to get the camera going. Maybe tomorrow!
