Through Chicago on to Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Today we rode through Chicago and stopped in at the Harley dealership, from there we rode to U.S. 30. This was the way to go as we got to see many little towns like Hinckley, Iowa . Jim and I ran into a fellow at a gas station going the same direction from Michigan on his bike. We see many riders, but not too many from near our neck of the woods!

The ride along U.S. 30 continued until we decided to get off at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We found our Best Western right on the Cedar River, which flooded the town back in 2008. It was by all accounts very damaging . We also saw the same man from earlier in the day checking in at the same time. His name is Don, and he lives in Denver....where we will be for 5 days! The weather today was between 80 and 90 degrees, wall to wall sun!
