Somebody left their tank parked alongside the road. A Kodak moment for sure!



Another cool check point:



We came across this memorial park with a big shooter.



We drove through the little town of Lanark Illinois. It had some neat old buildings from the 1800's, so we had to stop to enjoy the scenery and read the dates on the places.



We got off the path a few miles to see downtown Mt. Carrol.



They had another big shooter there, too. Is this thing loaded?



This is a haunted house called the Ravens Grin. We were too scared to go in, it was creepy.



After Union Grove, we went to LeClair Iowa, where I had booked a hotel room because it was close to Cordova.
I had asked for a room with 2 beds. The desk clerk looked at me and looked at Jeff, and said "how good of friends ARE you?" The only room they had left was the honeymoon suite:


Jeff offered to sleep in the hot tub, but they found him a roll-away bed. Lots of comments about Myrna Feltcher and a John Dear letter.


We ate at a place called Sneaky Pete's. The crew from Hot Rod was eating there too, so we had a chance to chat with them for a bit after supper.
