We got an early start this morning but ran into traffic at the bridge so we didn't cross into Michigan until 6 am. Traffic was light. We stopped in Marshall Michigan at the Denny's. When we first visited here in 2006, it was decked out as a Route 66 diner. This morning it just looked like a diner. Sometimes you don't get repeats.
While the traffic was light, the weather was hot. At 10:30 am it was 31C and by 1 pm it was 34C. It would climb all the way to 38C. It did cool off overnight. We set up the tent but didn't clear the car for sleeping since it really didn't feel like rain. There was a line of strong storms but they were moving more south and east from our location. We ended up in Adel, IA. The campground was full of RVs but there was a little room left for tents. Twelve hours on the road was a little long today but we were very good and made several stops for naps and water.
The rivers we crossed, including the Mississippi, are very low. Some of the smaller ones are almost dry.
Today's kilometer total was 1030km from home to Adel with no sidetrips.
We have been seeing, actually being passed by, many, many motorcycles. will have to try and find out where they are going. For some reason, when we do a road trip, we always run into a lot of motorcycles. I'll let you know where they are going once I find out.
