Since we knew we still had about 750 miles to go, we checked in with our new boss and found out we could slow down a bit. That's all we needed to hear, so we fit in a little sight seeing. I was reminded from a friend that American Pickers store, Antique Archaeology, was in LeClaire, IA so we had to stop in of course. Mike, Frank, nor Danielle were not there, but we had a fun time exploring their shops.

| Should say home of the pickers! |

| Signage, as Mike would say... |

| Who's older? |

| Loads of fun stuff... |
We then crossed over the Mississippi into Illinois for a bit. The road took us through the south side of Chicago, so we missed most of the city traffic, except for all the road repairs. We hit the tip of Indiana before heading north into Michigan. Finally, we are in our destination state. We stayed at a private campground along the Saint Joseph river. It was another beautiful spot. Although the miles weren't too long, we found ourselves exhausted. We both napped and slept in the next morning! A first in all these days on the road.

| Would love to have a river home...well maybe not :/ |

| Not the best shot through the window, just trying to capture the enormity of the Mississippi |
