The Route
Today was a short, 165 mile drive. We left on I-80E, took I-280E, crossed the Mississippi River, went around Davenport and connected with I-74E. I-74E took us to Carlock.
About the Day
The morning was cool with a slight breeze. The sun and breeze stayed with us all day. The temperature made it to the mid-70s. All-in-all, this was a great fall football day.
Along the Way
After a short starting drive, we stopped at Grammas Kitchen in Walcott for breakfast. We've stopped there a few times before. Breakfast was delicious.
I-280E traffic over the Mississippi River bridge was slowed by construction. The approach ramps were being rebuilt and a new concrete bridge deck was being poured. In our opinion, the ramp work is long overdue.

Travel Trivia
Grammas Kitchen is across the road from Iowa 80-The World's Largest Truck Stop.
The Campground
We're in site 24 at Kamp Komfort RV Park and Campground. We stayed here in 2009 and 2017. It's under new management since then. It's small, nice, economical, and close to I-74.

Tomorrow
We'll stop just east of Indianapolis. We've timed the stop for our last overnight so we have plenty of time to unload at home and store the trailer on Monday.
Safe travels these last couple days. Hugs.
