Day 20: 144 miles from Le Claire,  Iowa to Elgin, IL. We drove on secondary roads most of the way. Along the Rock River we stopped for a while to watch the finish line for a kayak race as some very tired people hauled their boats out and stumbled over the finish line. The weather has been overcast, sprinkly and in the mid 60s. So many farm fields we passed are still too wet to plant.
We stopped at a huge mall near our hotel where we are at a delicious Chinese buffet, walked the place and read magazines at Barnes and Noble.
Off to the Illinois train museum tomorrow.
