Our last day began in Rockford, Illinois. It was raining, again ... hard, and the ride to Madison, not far from the Illinois border, was a little scary. Water splashed up from the trucks and the usual contingent poor and/or inexperienced drivers was out there in full force.
The skies started to clear once we got into Wisconsin and by the time we stopped for a break, it was almost sunny. OK: nice enough for me to figure I could drive without the fear of all hell breaking loose in yet another downpour. Turned out to be an unfounded fear.
We had to wait till Menomonie for a rest stop, so I ended up driving quite a long time, something of a redemption for me, because I did a good job, under conditions that weren't too demanding. By the time we got to the Minnesota border, spring was in the air and we were so happy to be home.
I love Minnesota!
About Me
- Catherine Hennessey
- The first blog was a simple travel journal written during an Alaskan cruise in 2008. I document all of our trips, and refer to my posts fairly frequently, especially when we're planning a return visit to a destination. I enjoy recording events in both words and pictures -- blogging is one more way of staying in touch with family and friends in this wonderful, connected world. I've been retired since April of 2013, and there's no shortage of things to do or activities to enjoy. I enjoy writing about everything ... and nothing.
