A weekend in the City, er, the Quad Cities. 4 times the fun and excitement.
We have spent hours watching Ole' Man River swish past the campground. And we watched several "tows" lock up and down the River; even got to watch them stop the train so the lock through could proceed. Glad we could not hear the folks in the car when the train started and stopped. And stayed stopped.
A quick visit to a Farmer's Market. All sense of authentic ended when the "Amish" relish man was sucking down a Starbucks coffee drink.
We are riding the bike trails -- about 80 paved miles along the River from here north. Loving flat!!

| Headed down river. The barges have to be split at the locks due to length. |
 |
| Train bridge pivots to let barge through. |

So what is with the John Deere? I can't tell from the photo what it is supposed to be? Espresso machine? Draft beer?
