Still Heading East and Slightly South

Wednesday, September 25, 2024

We pulled out of the Walmart in Austin, MN around 10 o'clock after enjoying our coffee. Just taking our time and enjoying the start of the day. 

Below our some pictures of  the day's uneventful ride. Most of today was spent on I-90 and the scenery was Midwest farm country flat at times with some rolling hills. Lots of corn fields and green trees some of which are starting to take on the color of fall. It was the best kind of travel day. 

"Wild Oats"

We spent the night in Austin and then we passed by the 
exit to Houston. 

I do love seeing a windmill in the distance.

Then the road is headed down towards the Mississippi River.
The green driving through here is beautiful and when the Fall
Color it must be gorgeous.

After seeing glimpses of the river it came into full view.

Crossing over the Mississippi River near LaCrosse, WI.
We are officially back in the East.

I almost missed the Wisconsin Sign.

I was not sure these guys should count with there flashing lights
but as Tom said they were on the highway and we did pass them.

The beauty continues.

The trees are starting to change colors.

The clouds were mostly white and fluffy today.

Great water tower in Montello, WI 

Fox River

The windshield is a mess from all the bugs who have met their
demise on it today.  We are on a two lane state highway.
Saw several silos like these along this stretch.

We stopped for the night at the Walmart in Fond du Lac, WI. We are getting ready to leave here and travel the last few miles to my sister's driveway near Sheboygan, WI. Looking forward to spending time with family and attending the wedding of our nephew and his bride. 

We are glad you stopped by!

If you have time to leave a comment we would enjoy hearing from you.

Backtracking!

We were up before the sun this morning. A quick mug of coffee and it was time to get everything ready to roll.  It is time to head back east. Before we point the nose of the Stinger "B" East we have one last stop to make at Schapps RV Traveland for what we are hoping solves the battery issue we are having with the Jeep when we are towing.

Our spot at the Red Barn RV Park in Tea, SD

The technician at Schapps was ready for us when we arrived and in no time at all the job was done. Tom paid the bill, we hooked up the "Jeep With No Name" and we were on our way.

Just 19 miles later we were pulling into the Minnesota
Welcome Center. 

This semi passed and left us in the dust.

Then we passed this guy.

We started the day under blue skies and just a few fluffy
white clouds. Then dark clouds were visible ahead.

Pictures of the scenery and sky as we made our way east on I-90.

The trees are starting show some color.

Tonight we are tucked in at the Walmart in Austin, MN. Walking up a short hill of grass on our way to dinner this evening I looked down and it was filled with wishes. I usually end our blog with a quote I have come across and saved but tonight I will just close with this picture and a wish.

May your wishes come true!

We are glad you stopped by!
