Due to pilot error and construction today we had our plans changed. We were going to stay a couple of more days on the Mississippi but as you can see we have moved on. We only saw 2 barges on the river and one was at night and the other was behind some trees. I did not get a picture, which is disappointing. We will see when we again cross the river when heading west. Maybe better luck at that time.

We have availed our selves of the Passport America system and have parked for the night at Amboy, Illinois.

Things are changing as the land is getting flatter and more trees and lots of corn. It has been so wet everyone is hoping for warmer and dryer weather. It was 93 when we parked at 6:00p.m. We still are having a little time change problem as far as our body time clocks.

More tomorrow or the next day. I have better verizon internet than ATT phone tonight.
