Arrived back home last night after a successful eagle watching expedition to the Mississippi River. I'm using a count of 40 and Liz says we saw 50. As long as you see one, you have been successful. Then there was the unexpected one I wrote about yesterday.
We played at five new NTN Buzztime sites and two others that we had already played at.
Saw lots of great roads, sites, and drives as well as the Lincoln Highway in Clinton, Iowa, and from Dixon to Dekalb, Illinois.
Plus, quite a bit of barhopping: Tuesday-- 3; Wednesday 3, Thursday 4; Friday 7: and yesterday 3. That's 20 in five days.
Good eating too: J&D's Steakhouse in Clinton, Golden Corral in Davenport, Old Chicago in Bettendorf, Lincoln Way Cafe in Franklin Grove, Fatty's in Dekalb and McDonald's in Woodstock (McRib's, what can I say). And, we had great prices on those meals as well. I had two whole catfish dinners, one for $7.99 and the other for $6,25.
Stayed four days in three motels as well with one free and the others averaging $80 with tax.
Dekalb shocked us with their 10% sales tax. What do they think they are, Chicago?
Great Trip and Hoping to get back on the Road Again Around the 15th of This Month. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

I envy you your visit to the Lincoln Cafe. I've been there just once and that was for breakfast but it was one of the most enjoyable meals I've ever had.
