In Marengo, IA for few days

70 degrees here just west of Marengo, IA.  We left the Lincoln State Park northwest of Springfield, IL yesterday and drove nearly all the way to the quad-cities without getting on the Interstate.  Little traffic and mostly 4-lane roads; even where 2-lane little traffic and saw a lot of farmsteads and farm fields.  Stopped near Walcott, IA where we had purchased our trailer in April and left the TV that came with the trailer and put in a claim for it.  Had had to buy a new one in upper New York state when the original quit.  Bought a new tail light for the trailer--had stepped on it when going up the ladder to sweep "stuff" off the slide when we were packing up one time.  It is just behind one of the steps and I had somehow avoided it the other 4 or 5 times had gone up.  Will note to watch it when using the ladder now.
Then stopped at a Costco in Coralville, IA (They have a covered parking lot) and then Walgreen's.  Lined up by phone a tour of the Kinsey manufacturing plant for 10 am today.

Will get some photos on the computer of the two capitols we toured and also from yesterday.  Understand we can take photos in the Kinsey plant today.

Parked the trailer in driveway of our son Cameron's place where we will stay until Sunday morning.

Later, Lynn
