Saturday, June 23, 2012 - Gary, IN to Cedar Rapids, IA

Waking up in Morris, IL we were greeted by a rainbow around the sun.


Those stick figures really should have used a different trucking company.


Utica, IL Plaque!


Illinois and Michigan Canal!


We ARE a little starved for rock (and roll) at this point!


A motorcycle-friendly town


Oh Emm Gee - a very happy welcome!


This is Victor the biker-dog and his dad. Check out those goggles!


Hmm...Do we go for the strips or the bark? Victor says "Bark!"


Victor's brother is in Mom's pouch.


Best way to travel!


Not going to Normal!


In the rest area...


Men's room


Wait...WINTER Travel Hazards??? Happily not on our route.


Tee-hee!


This wedding's already on the rails.


Riverboat on the Iowa side of the Mississippi


Sorry, this bench is taken.


This sculpture depicts the local tug-of-war games across the Mississippi River.


Still starved for rock!
The Knitters - Rock Island Line


Welcome to the Grandaddy of them All (in the world of Drag Racing)!


Yup


Farm Tire / Tire Farm ...whatever


Welcome to Iowa!


We have a big sphere!


A great dividing line of age - who started singing?
Oak Ridge Boys


Joyce DeWitt has a town named after her? She totally should.


If it's lost, how do they know how far it is?


On the Lincoln Highway


A very small sample of all that we saw for hundreds of miles.


Welcome to Cedar Rapids, IA! We are here to see the Cedar Rapids Kernels (Single A for Anaheim) take on the Beloit (WI) Snappers (Single A for Minnesota).


Oh...I guess we go for Lawn Seats.


Yep


Pizza! Pizza!


Long ago, Cedar Rapids used to be a farm team for Stephanie's Indians.


Even longer ago, they were the fierce Bunnies.


Fried Food Mecca


Mr. Shucks


and his mom Mrs. Shucks


"Cheers" wisdom


The Kernels wore special uniforms tonight to auction off and benefit Autism.


Angry Birds Kid


Thanks to Angry Birds Kid for taking our photo!


The tiniest Kernels fan


The Light Sabers will help!


Instigator


Stephanie loves this kid.


Unfortunately, the Kernels' bats were not popping and they lost.
