Day 74. We're almost back to home country. Today was full of anticipation as we left LaCrosse bound for Chicago and our daughter Hillery. It continued to rain off and on, a weather system that has been following us since we left Yellowstone. I90 was fine, although traffic increased as we crossed the Wisconsin/Illinoir border. By the time we headed east from Rockford we felt like we were back in full-blown civilization. We arrived at Hillery's mid-afternoon and settled in for a three-day visit. We took our soggy tent and spread it out on her back porch to dry before we pack it away. Tent camping was a good experience (Honest, you can even ask Gail!), but it feels good to be ready to pack it away. We plan to celebrate Hillery's birthday while we are here (July 26), do some sightseeing, and make plans for our return to St. Louis on Monday, August 3.
Mileage for the day: 270 miles.
Mileage for the trip: 11,605 miles.
