72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast

[Chevyland]

Ok. Finally got a cell signal again
I haven't ever studied an AT&T map
But where we went today there was no signal all day

Made it to Dubuque

I found a good lead on some sheet metal
Along the way

[Chevyland]

Again everybody. Thanks for following us (and giving us ideas)

This looks to be a beautiful thriving city
Probably going to go see Mississippi River Museum in the morning

Sitting down for dinner at a killer Italian place, Vinny Vanucchi's
Planning our next couple days

Has anyone been to Iowa 80 Truck stop museum

I'm now ready to move away from water towers
And discuss Quanset huts

The first picture of the first one we came across

I think it turn out pretty good
What do you guys think?

[flashed]

That would make one nice truck shop ad I like your water tower pics along with all the others .

[Chevyland]

I thought so too flashed

Man, have the food gods with us the last couple days
Last nights was a steal
But this morning it felt necessary to stop at mc Donald's on way out of Milwaukee

Tonight we had to pay a bit over 40$ (That's ok though)
Because when we both started feeling about 8 months pregnant

These nice people at vinny's

Gave us the stuff so we are ready for breakfast and lunch tommorow

By far, the best meal on this trip so far

[flashed]

That looks tasty .

[flashed]

On our last cross country trip in the Chevelle's our leader (Chuck Hanson) decided we would eat at mom and pop places ,boy did we eat good .

you will like iowa 80 it is the worlds biggest truck stop mostly big trucks in the museum ,also sheds full of unrestored trucks past the truck wash if the doors are open just go in find someone they will let you look at them.if you like John Deeres should go to museum in Moline& Waterloo you can tour the tractor works plant in Waterloo and Dubuque has the ind. John Deere plant

[Chevyland]

Alrighty then
Had to go on a walk to slow down the contractions
Probably went in a 10x4 block radius about a mile or 2

Couldn't believe how many beautiful buildings in this downtown
I was not expecting to stay in a town like this tonight

I'll try only to post a few and not all churches(there we're plenty of them

Crackerbox Thanks for the info

You keep heading north, you're going to miss the real Rockies (Colorado that is)! Gonna have to swing back south to catch the changing aspen leaves.

(With apologies to those who live in Montana, Idaho, and select areas of Wyoming)

We're headed south now. But probably only as far as the Iowa 80 truck stop
We keep thinking we want to go see Mount Rushmore
Originally Colorado and Utah were on the list but it's not to often
You would take a vacation to these off the beaten path places
There are so many beautiful places within driving distance in Co. And Ut
That we could hit up on a specific vacation
I don't think Either of uswould ever go to stugis specifically,
But since it is kind of on the way it keeps calling

[Hubscrub]

Still ridding along with ya, awesome trip. I enjoyed Iowa 80, if your into American pickers there not to far east along the route to the 80 truck stop. We drove over to both on our route 66 trip while in Illinois. Just a thought.

[Chevyland]

Check this place out, we went to

The house on the rock

I thought we would see some cool rock formation
Instead it was a dream of some guy that he started building back in the 40s
He just started, and kept building on this Boulder formation
This place was crazy, can't ever explain it
He also collected tons of stuff in his lifetime (that is on display too)

This pic is us, in what I think was called the infinity room

Look behind us it looks like it never ends

[flashed]

We went there too ,this guy collected lots of different stuff ,some of it a bit strange ,but a real cool place to visit.

[Chevyland]

Here is what it looks like on the outside

Who dreams up a structure like that

We were standing in that thing about 2/3 of the way out
If you walked to heavily, you could feel it move like you were on a huge diving board

[Chevyland]

We heard about the rock from a lady on our underground hike back in Kentucky
When We saw that Taliesin was right down the street
It was a no brainer (we gotta go up there)

Since We spend a bit of time in Az
A year or two ago Anne and I visited Taliesin West(amazing)
Well this place was probably more amazing

Our tour guide was awesome, and We learned so much about
Frank Lloyd Wright

I think I have enough Trix to share a bowl, but we need milk. I'd like to check out that wild place. We have "Falling Waters" near my mom's in PA. You guys are doing it right. That I-80 truck museum could blow a camera up! Never been there, but have seen a lot in pictures. They bring trucks and displays out to the national ATHS shows.
