Fort Dodge to Bartlett

Thursday we awoke to a very cold, clear day. The driving along Route 20 east was great - the only problem was having the sun before us, but it was high enough and enough to the south to not be a big problem - the visors helped. We had time to stop to see Betty Remley in Anamosa (my old home town from high school years ) and we learned that she had celebrated her 100th birthday on Dec. 22nd! She had had a recent fall, like me, and like me, been badly bruised. But she took it all in stride. A remarkable person!

We crossed the Mississippi River at Savanna, IL and arrived at Bartlett at about 5:15.
