Day 38 had us officially on the east coast by day’s end. I-80 is the most traveled east - west interstate in the US. Every one of these vehicles is doing over 75 mph.
In order to give equal time to every states agriculture, this is Iowa corn for as far as one can see.
Leaving Iowa, we passed through Canton, Missouri
to look at the swollen Mississippi River. Unfortunately the entire roads in Canton toward the river were closed due to flooding. Outside of town we saw this dike with some flooding on the town side of the dike.
It was interesting to see a flood gate for the train track to pass through.
On the way out of town Babs had to satisfy her silo fetish by photographing these silos.
We crossed the mighty Mississippi river at Hannibal, Missouri crossing into Illinois officially entering the East Coast.
You can see how the river flooded the corn fields adjacent to the river.
This is Illinois corn, also as far as the eye can see.
Tomorrow we continue toward home. Check back in for more breathtaking news! LOL.
Babs Says: We started keeping track of car license plates that we have seen starting June 2nd. As of today, we have seen 48 tags (and DC). Any guesses on the missing two states?
To all of our children: We apologize in advance for not bringing you any souvenirs/ gifts. There was nothing that we saw that was worth bringing back for you. We have spent your inheritance on ourselves. Sorry, Butch, no Darth Tater shirt!
