3rd August....Wisconsin through Iowa to Missouri...with a side trip to the future !!!

We are back on the road today fairly early as a longer journey south to Missouri....one of the Mississippi River Cruise Boats at Dubuque....
Most of our journey today will be through Iowa...
For most of our drive down the US151 & 61 highways it is corn fields for as far as the eye can see...we are fascinated by the patterns of the corn fields...also it's so neat and tidy.....
And my day is made....Yorkieman had discovered via Roadside America that Riverside, Iowa is the future birth place of James T Kirk....
What would we do without Google Earth to check that we can park our home on wheels here....
In 1984 Riverside City wrote to Gene Roddenberry requesting that the small town of Riverside be the birth place of  James T and he agreed...

Check out the sign below Kirk....not complaining but it is now 92 degrees....
Great fun and a good diversion on our drive today....we also topped off the diesel at the cheapest since the beginning of this road trip....
We just love these straight quiet roads....
And into Missouri and our stop for a couple of nights at The Mark Twain Cave and Campground in Hannibal....
Warp factor one Mr Sulu.....
The Spaced Out campers....
