This are the short version of what we did each day. The longer version will be at http://roaddogsroadlog.blogspot.com.
July 16th-- Friday
The Best Western Frontier Inn in Clinton, Iowa, has one of the best included breakfasts of any place we've ever been. Even Liz will get up for this one. And that very rarely happens. We also enjoyed the inside pool and hot tub.
We were delayed leaving when Liz couldn't find Sally, our GPR. Looked all over and even went to all the places we went to in Clinton yesterday, but didn't find it.
Crossed the Mississippi into Fulton, Illinois, and drove Il-84 to Savanna (No "H" here in Illinois) and then took US-52 back into Iowa and up to Dubuque. This is one beautiful drive. Played NTN at Courtside in Dubuque then drove to Galena, got our room at the Grant Hills Motel, a Mom and Pop Motel dating from the late 40s.
IT'S A GALENA THING
We then drove back to Galena and played NTN at another new-to-us place called the Flying Horse. I saw some folks had ordered something that looked like a different sort of pizza and asked what it was. The bartender told me it was called a flat bread, so ordered a steak Alfredo one and I strongly recommend it.
Had two beers there, two more at the VFW and talked to some folks from Crystal Lake (near where we live) who have moved out to Galena. Then, one more beer at Benjamin's and back to the motel where we sat out by the pool and talked with some people.
By the way, Liz found Sally in one of her suitcases within seconds after we got to Grant Hills

REMEMBER WHEN you drank colored sugar water from Coke-shaped wax bottles?
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
