We’ll
be home by Tuesday.
The Route
This was our sixth and final day on I-80. We left Newton on I-80, connected with I-74
just east of Davenport, and drove south on I-74 to Carlock. It was a 257 mile trip.
About the Day
It was mostly sunny with high clouds … a delightful day for
driving. The temperature ranged from 63°
to 80°. Gusting cross-winds made for interesting
towing. Truck traffic was heavy at times. The highway was in good condition.
We got on the road by 10:00.
Along the Way
Iowa scenery …
Observation: Northwestern Illinois looks a lot like Iowa, it's just not as hilly.
Mississippi River …

Travel Trivia
We just traveled eastward on I-80 for four full days and two partial
days. We got on it in Utah, passed through
all of Wyoming, Nebraska and Iowa, and got off in Illinois. I-80 is 2,900 miles long and we only saw 1,220 miles of it.
The Campground
We’re staying at Kamp
Komfort RV Park. We’ve stayed here
before. It’s very nice, not fancy.

Oh! Miss the Mississippi and you guys. So glad you are almost home.
