Day 3
877 miles so far and I can't believe the weather up here. It's nice and cool - in the low eighties. Not much today in the way of photos, saw lots of corn and soybeans, car running fine, see photo of dash, oil pressure ok, amps ok, speed over ground 50% more than speedometer shows. tomorrow we have a 70 mile run up the "old river road", should be interesting and may be scenic. Norma would love traveling with us, we usually leave about 7 am.
I forgot to add, when we get people asking about driving so far in the Packard, I tell them the roads were all paved now - even the ones in Arkansas. We have seen about 11 cars on the side of the road and none of them were Packards!
Tonight we are staying in LeClaire, Iowa. It's a neat little town not unlike Eureka Springs, lots of junk shops all pricey - but we had to look. The pictures are of the street scenes and the river, note there is Packard in the background of several.
