2023 Fall Trip - Day 19-of-21 - Sept 25, 2023

Monday, Sept. 25, 2023 - Still Heading East:

I got 38 Post Offices along the way today:

So, I'm looping along, grabbing Post Offices in Iowa, when I see THIS FUN SIGN!! Hey, How Can I NOT GO TO DIXON, IOWA - its only 10 MILES UP THE ROAD:

A little after 11 AM I crossed the Mississippi River:

Train Crossing in Silvis, Illinois - I figure I might as well get out, stretch, take a picture, drink some water:

Although Dixon, Iowa was only 10 miles up the road, Dixon, Illinois is over 60 miles northeast (away from my path) - so NO, NOT TODAY:

Pretty Country:

Another Pretty Sunset:

I did dinner at Chick-fil-a, but I could have done any of these three:

At 10 PM, I checked in to the Days Inn in Springfield, Ohio [580 miles] (THANK YOU GOD for letting me travel SAFE AND SOUND):

After 52745 - Dixon, Iowa, my favorite Post Offices today are TRADITIONAL - 61550 - Morton, Illinois - VERY OFFICIAL:
and CHARACTER - 52760 - Moscow, Iowa:

Since I have the space, 61401 - Galesburg, Illinois looks like its crying for America:
