Crossing Old Man River

April 16/2019  Weather sunny, high 77/low 55  
Ojibwa misi-ziibi, meaning "Great River", or gichi-ziibi, meaning "Big River"

Today we continued northwest across the USA with a goal to cross the Mississippi River and get past St. Louis before looking for a campground.  We broke our own rules today, putting on 363 miles driving till 3:45.  That is a big day for us.   It will leave two normal days for the home stretch.   We landed near the Illinois/Indiana border in a small town called Casey.  Easy in and out Casey KOA.  We might be the only transients in the park... not too busyi
The river barge could be moving grain, 60% of the grain is moved down the Mississippi for export
