Left Rogers, Mn. this morning around 6:30 am riding out I-94 East to Wisconsin and crossing the Mississippi River, pior to entering Wi.. We stopped in Menomonie for breakfast before continuing on I-94 until reaching I-90 South which we took to Wis Dells, Wi. then got on Hwy 12. We rode East in to the town of Saulk City, Wi. that is were Michele took the picture of The Vetrans Memorial. Once in Madison we got 90/39 South took 39 to in to Illinois. Once in IL. there were no state welcome signs but they sure where waiting at the toll booth for us. Continue on 39 South then on to I-80 East were we rode to Ottawa, IL. for the night. The landscape pretty much same throught out these states rolling hills, a few lakes and farmland. We still are enjoying the sceneary no matter where we have been. Michele and Mike have bee a real blessing for me on these legs of my trip as well as others who have shared in this adventure. Today we traveled 471 miles bring us to 8181 miles. So Gods Speed from Don, Michele and Mike.
