We made it to the world's largest truck stop in Wolcott IA called Iowa 80. It was not worth the detour but it is kind of interesting. We did see truck with a vane for a wind turbine. Go prarie power! Another truck was filled with turkeys. Heard a gobble as I walked by, turned and couldn't believe it. There is parking for 800 trucks.
The rest of the day was not so good. Had a tire blow out just past the Quad Cities (Moline and Rock Island IL and Bettendorf and Davenport IA) Wonderful guy came out when we called Geico BUT had to take the wheel off, go with him to buy a tire, drive back for him to mount it. Only to discover that there was no air in tire and the battery went dead because we wanted to leave the flashers on. So back to the tire store for air and finally to rv park in Rock Island about 6 or so. Ugh. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
