Leaving Platteville- getting to... Dubuque? 8/24/11

Leaving the old homestead in Platteville, Wisconsin.    Wed, August 24, 2011 We'll miss our little valley.
Our very first day on the road did not start auspiciously.  The van, which holds our "storage" goods that Bill was following in developed problems right after we hit Hwy 151.  An expensive tow back to Platteville and a long hot afternoon waiting for the mechanic.






After a disheartening start, we only made it  across the Mississippi to Dubuque, IA .


Exhausted-   we make as far as Miller Riverview Park, right on the river by the bridge.  $15 for electric only, but very pretty and blissfully quiet.  We stay here for 2 nights.  We have supper at the casino next door.
