July 17th, we drove out to Blanding's Landing by the Mississippi River looking for the street rods, but they never showed up. We then drove to Hanover, Illinois, where we met up with some of them in town and followed them out to one of the most impressive wineries I've ever seen, Rocky Waters Vineyard.
We then drove to Elizabeth and saw a parade and then got lost going to another winery called Massbach Ridge but got some really good Elizabeth Wine. We went back to Elizabeth and went to its community fair.
BACK TO GALENA
Went to the Grape Escape on Main Street in Galena and watched Johnny Rocker perform for several hours during the afternoon. He put on a really great show.
Then back to Grant Hills Motel and sat outside the room and talked all evening with three couples. This is something that just doesn't happen at today's motels, just at the old Mom and Pops.
All day we drove on a variety of roads ranging from gravel, seal coated gravel and so-called secondary roads. We got to see some mighty impressive scenery driving around Jo Davies County.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
