Day 40 Muscatine IA to Kewanee IL

Mulford Evangelical Free Church gave us a warm welcome and our hosts Janet and Harry provided a very nice tour of the town, snug beds and good tuck.

Muscatine is right on Mississippi River. This past Monday a very bad windstorm with "straight line wind" blew through and did unbelievable damage.



















We set off from Muscatine and crossed over the Misssissippi and entered the States of Illinois our (WA, ID, MT, ND MN, WI, IA, IL) eight states.


















Today we were joined by Dan and Debbie Berg, old friends from my YFC days in North Area. Both are strong cyclists. We all enjoyed having them for their company and because they pulled us along.

















The roads were the nicest we've been on for many days with gentle rolling hills. The weather was fine with partly cloudy skies, mid-80's temp, but high humidity.

Distance: 80.87 miles
Time on the bike: 4:49
Total Time: 1755 ft

Overall Distance: 2532 miles
