August 22, 2025- Hannibal MO to Loveland OH        

After a long last day, we finally got home to Loveland OH.  Crossing the Mississippi River within the first 5 minutes of our ride today. Pretty nice sun rise.

But not too far down the road, lots of fog....slow down boys.

Finally, blue skies as we cross the Illinois River.

We still have corn and soybean fields but not as many.  

So..... only thing left is to look at the cool formation of all the clouds over the next 4 hours.

Blue skies trying to get thru.

Last water for the trip..... our pond in the front yard.
