• Fog Advisory & Revisiting the Pickers

    October 9, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌫 15 °C

    We started out early and within 10 miles drove into dense fog. We pulled off I-74 in Bloomington, IL and are waiting for the fog to lift as I start this entry. Checked and the advisory is on until 10:00 am. Fog lifted... Left about 9:00 on our way northwest towards Le Claire to check in on the American Pickers.
    Had lunch at the Crane and Pelican Cafe...nice historic building exactly one block from Antique Archeology. We wanted to check out the new building they had started when we were last here with friends in 2013. We took some photos and asked one of the young ladies minding the store to take one of us.
    After we left Le Claire, a strong wind picked up and we were driving right into it. Slow going and the temperature dropped considerably as we approached Mason City where we will stay for the night.
