After a day of doing our laundry and resting, we were back at it. A little too warm and sunny, still not much to see, but Route 30 is flat and has wide shoulders so walking was easy. We literally walked within a block of our hotel – fortunately need the end of our 12 miles so we weren’t too tempted to take a detour. Had a great dinner and are hoping for cooler weather tomorrow.
Day Two – walked through the rest of the town of Rock Falls (a nice town) and then back out to farm land. A nice walk except Mike’s feet are really bothering him, despite being covered in bandaids. Time for new hiking boots.
On Day Three, we started in the corn fields and walked through the pretty little town of Morrison. The area between the Rock and Mississippi Rivers is more lush and green. And the cherry trees and lilacs are in bloom – every once in a while we got a nice whiff of lilac as we passed by.
