Plymouth, IL to Trempealeau, Wisconsin

Had to start our day with timing our going thur Chicago not at rush hour. I know in Chicago that time is probably 3 AM but that was not to be. We'll try for 10AM instead. Of course more construction along the way oh here's Chicago hit it at 10AM. The skyline was cool to see and the trip thur was not bad traffic of course but never going thur Chicago we could look at the buildings so that was ok. Sights along the way is always interesting but trying to get them on camera is a whole different story. Miss quite a few. Of course tons of wind tubines. Arriving at our campground. This campground was self checkin and on the Missisippi River right near a dam lock. So for all of you that knew what we did for a living, that was intriring. So we settled in Mulberry Meadows Campground. Sett up camp and off we go to check out the lock and dam. Nice viewing but nothing going on, oh well good place for morning coffee tomorrow. So we headed to somewhere to grab a bite to eat, but where? Tripadvisor will be my second best friend for this trip. Steve will be the first for now, we got a looooong trip, hope to still be by the end. We'll see.
