Across the Mississippi

---

Today we got past Chicago and crossed the Mississippi River into Iowa. We are camped in a nicely kept county park near Davenport. We didn't have any reservations and since this is a Friday afternoon we stopped a little early to make sure we could get a spot.
We took the Honda down to a park along the Mississippi River. There was a number of people fishing from the bank and some type of kayaking event just getting underway by a women's outdoors club. I included a few pictures.
Now that we are west of the Mississippi I think the countryside will start to get more interesting. In the meantime I'm just glad to be camping and exploring new places.
Our friends John and Linda, who were planning to make this trip with us, had to cancel their plans just before we left due to a sudden illness in the family that required their presence. We're sorry they couldn't make it. Maybe next time.
