1 box truck to Davenport IA (delivered)

... spending the night at home

Nowhere to go, no rush to get there. We finally went down to get breakfast at 8 AM. Only diet yogurt so I had eggs and sausage.

We pulled out about 9 AM. It had rained overnight but still no frost. But the temps did drop as we drove north today.

1st stop was at a cemetery in Waterloo. There are a few thousand flat markers there so every time we had stopped before we just drove in and out. The office was always closed. Today was a weekday so we were in luck. A few minutes there and a short walk and we were on the road again.

The next place I knew the name but on the exact place so we stopped at one before we got to the 'correct' one. Then when we got to the one I have listed, I am able to stand in the center and see all the makers. This place only has 100 or so put right markers and the one I am looking for is unique. After a few minutes of standing there I realize I am still at the wrong cemetery. There are a series of cemeteries in the area all name 'St Paul's Lutheran.' I've spent enough time today, time to keep moving.

Not sure what happened but BB is in pain today. She thinks it was just sitting wrong yesterday while driving but it is painful getting in and out of the car so we will limit the times we do that the rest of the day.

3rd stop was at the Kwik Star at New Hampton. It is our rest area on US-63.

4th stop is Culvers in Rochester. We waited until Rochester so we would have lots of choices but BB does not want to have to get out of the car and want's fast food fast.

5th stop was the Pilot in Inver Grove Heights. Fuel was 30 cents cheaper in IA but I didn't need a full tank yet then. Now I had been day dreaming and didn't see the low fuel light come on. Second time in a couple of days that I have put in 11 gallons in our '10 gallon' tank.

... and home.

Nothing on the load board that would have worked for today and getting home today. And now BB isn't up to driving so it doesn't make much difference.

IA has started putting RV's out but we can't call until tomorrow. There was one Rental in MN that we could have done, if we were in MN.

US - 236

IA - 27

MN - 9

WI - 6

As of right now we are still waiting for the 'perfect trip,' so we are not committing to anything that will interfere with that. IF that trip does not show up Wednesday we will just wait until Friday ... or Saturday. By Saturday noon we will likely take something to be moving the rest of the weekend.
