It's that time of the year again when Liz and I head out to the Mississippi River to see those magnificent bald eagles.
We leave early Monday.
This year, we are going to reverse the usual trio, which is to take US-20 west to Galena, Illinois, and Dubuque, Iowa, at the start. We are going south to Starved Rock in Utica, Illinois, where we will check out eagles along the Illinois River and stay in that great 1930s CCC/WPA lodge.
Then on to the Quad Cities and north to Dubuque and then home.
Hope we see eagles, but you never know. Our all-time low count was one and we have seen as many as 400. Usually, it is at least 20-30.
Lock and dams are the best viewing spots.

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.
