Song of the day: Round Here – Counting Crows
We left Peosta saying goodbye to Jon and his family. The morning was spent wandering around the countryside due to the fact that we didn’t have the proper maps for this area. This was a little frustrating because it took us over unnecessary hills and we had a long day planned. Even so, we were soon back on track headed towards Muscatine.

The day seemed long and the towns we went through were mostly deserted. Seeing that it was a Sunday, we couldn’t find a decent meal until long after lunch time, but our food woes would soon be forgotten.
As the day wore on, the hills subsided and we had finally become the kings of the Iowa hills. We pushed on towards Muscatine and covered 86 miles in all, out longest day to this point. At the end of the day we were rewarded with some amazing fillets from our hosts Megan and Eric for the night. As Whompy would say, “Its amazing how a good meal at the end of a day can make the whole day seem easier.”
^We even found my mailbox!^
