Heading out on Highway 90, our path for the next 1400 miles, we quickly crossed into Idaho and the Coeur d’Alene area. It was beautiful as usual giving me an opportunity to take some pictures.
You could tell that fall was in the air with the changing of the leaves. Going through Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota the scenery did not change much. Had a chance to drive past Sturgis, South Dakota. What surprised me was that it was such a small town to host such a large gathering in the summer with all the bikers. The weather was great, hardly a raindrop to be found, and the temperature never above 70 degrees.
We also were able to add another state to our list of states visited, Iowa. We now only have 10 more states to complete the list. Here is something I am sure most of you have not seen in a very long time. How’s this for a flashback:
Can you believe it? I even saw it as low as $1.95 a gallon in Missouri. As we got within about 15 miles of our final destination in Roxana, Illinois, we crossed the mighty Mississippi River, which is the border between Missouri and Illinois.
It took us only 34 minutes to unload the Genie and be ready for our next assignment. We are anticipating going to Lebanon, Missouri for a load of boats since it is only 180 miles from Roxana, but as we have learned, you never really know for sure until the dispatch comes through.
