Big Bird's Adventures

Leaving Dubuque I cross the Mississippi River into Wisconsin of all places. Now, I have always convinced myself that way back in my college days when I and a bunch of racer friends came to Chicago for a bike race and I thought we had traveled enough North that we stayed in Wisconsin. I now believe that was false and I have never been to Wisconsin before, so that now on this day, after crossing the river, I have now checked off state 49 in my quest to visit all 50 states. Now only North Dakota remains. In addition now that I am on my own again, I have time to write my travel log again, and so I will return to reposting my notes published with Strava. The other format change I will make in these postings is that I am out of the “Big States” now, and between Wisconsin (less than a day), Illinois (3+ days) and Indiana (4 days) I am going to combine all the travel logs for those states into one posting.
