Day 2 - We left Springfield, OH (the Capitol of OH) early and drove to Moline, IL. The weather was marginal most of the day and we had a little rain in Illinois.

We did not know that I-65 through Indianapolis was completely closed. We had to back-track on I-70 a little to get onto the beltway around the city on I-485 to get back on I-65 North.

We drove through Champaign, IL, (where my Mother was born), and Peoria, IL, the home of Caterpillar and other heavy industry. Along the way we saw many, many, many farms.

As we got to Moline, IL the weather improved and we spent some time hiking along the Mississippi River and visiting the John Deere Store. Unfortunately the John Deere Pavilion was closed due to Covid.
