Spring Break '99

Day 10

On Sunday, March 21, we left at about 7 AM. We took I-40 to Memphis, TN. We drove around the city, and then took I-55 up to St. Louis. Missouri is pretty nice, it reminded me of Wisconsin. Then we took I-55 to I-155 to I-74 to Peoria. We gassed up and ate there, then continued on to the Quad Cities. From there we took US 61 to US 151 to Platteville.
