After viewing another covered bridge in Illinois, we headed for the I/I border. The Quad Cities area is really one large city with a bit of a river running through it. Oh, the river is the Mississippi. We spent our evening in the parking lot of a riverboat casino.
We spent our day on an 11K walk around Davenport, a town dominated by the Palmer School of Chiropractic Medicine and several small colleges. They also have some wonderful hundred year old homes.
John Deere invented the self-clearing plow in Illinois. The accomplishments of the company he founded are extolled at the John Deere Pavilion where we had a chance to climb up the giant tractors and pretend to drive (Anna Lee, of course, has mastered the art of driving big vehicles on her few hours of driving the RV).
