Sioux City -Waterloo- Dubuque- Galena- Chicago ( 490 mls)

As the yesterday`s stage , also today this was the scenery for hundreds mls . Question : How many pop corn does the Americans eat every day day ?

and again .... no human presence . Where are they ? I`ve though that maybe the aliens are kidnapping everybody that is not using cars or a trucks !!!!

At the last moment we`ve decided to continue on the 20 east , we crossed the Mississippi River

Approaching Chicago the trucks presence became normal .


After 490 mls we finally arrived to Chicago.






Today we are off.

We didn`t to get depressed and we dressed properly to go to the park despite the bad conditions ( even the guy on the below picture it was dispppointed about the rain ) . Unfortunately , on the way to the park ( in the mean time the rain became stronger ) we have foud 11 miles of road works that force us to drive on a dirty road with a very slippery mud . The mud and the rain made the ride very tough ! Thanks God, around noon the clouds disappeared and a fantastic blue sky with a vivid sun were finally above us Under the sunlight the colours of the park changed and finally we can appreciate the beauty of the enviroment . The valley of the Yellowstone river , is
