We landed on LA CROSSE, Wisconsin





Wow, after 19 hrs and just over a thousand miles we made it to the very edge of Wisconsin, we are just shy of Minnesota. We had a bit of a slow start as Lori remembered at the gas station she didn't have her glasses. I went into the house only to NOT find them as they were in the car all along!!!
On to the drive, we hit heavy rain in Ohio, heavy traffic around chicago and heavy fog near Rockport IL. However, it was very managble and we got to Cracker Barrel in (IL)by 8:30am.

We are now checked into the Best Western of La Crosse WI which over looks the Mississippi river and ready for a due shower and nap, followed by happy hour at 4pm and a comedian at 8pm in the hotel lounge (if we can keep our eyes open) I will post more pictures later.
Cheers
Rob and Lori
