We drove 267 miles to LeClaire, Iowa as we planned to stop here and see the Buffalo Bill Museum. We were told we could park in the city parking lot located right on the Mississippi River. Absolutely beautiful. The museum was well worth the stop. We walked up in to town and ate at the Mexican restaurant out on the back porch of the restaurant that overlooks the Mississippi!!! The view was fabulous. We took Lexie for a nice long walk along the river walk and met a local lady that told us go across the street and see the American Picker shop!!! WHAT. Mike and Frank could be there she said.
She told us Frank owns a home here in LeClaire so he is here a lot.
The girls in the shop were wonderful young girls that took us in and allowed Lexie to come in as well. Of course we had to have T-Shirts and me a tote bag!! (I have a thing for tote bags).
We saw lots of things we had seen them buy on TV. What a terrific surprise!!!!
We walked back to the motorhome and was talking that we had been here in this town for about 5 hours and there had been 4 trains go through town. Our motorhome was sitting about 10 feet from the tracks. Rod decided he would not sleep any with trains waking him all night so we pulled out drove 8 miles to a Walmart and here we are set up for the night. Lexie had ran out of her favorite treats so this was a great time to stock up on those!!!
We had a great travel day as the rained stopped in a couple of hours into our trip. We went down and around Lake Michigan through Indiana and into Iowa. It was a great day!!
Love to all, Ms. Fran & Cap’n Rod
