South
on the short US 61/151 freeway into Dubuque. |
Welcome
to Iowa. |
Now
back North on US 61 and US 151, we come to CR HHH and CR H. |
We're
gonna dump US 151 here. |
Paralleling
the Mississippi now, although you can't see it from here. |
US
61 and WI 35 NB. |
It's
only the "recommended" truck route through the town of Tennyson. |
But
we took the regular route. |
I
believe this is now WI 133, which goes closer to the river than WI 35 and US
61 do. |
The
road rubs against the hill as it curves. |
I'm
not sure which town this is, but its either Bloomington or Patch Grove. |
Jesus
must guard this intersection. Hint: see the small sign on the right
side of the photo. |
US
18 WB and WI 35 NB. |
Same
road. |
The
only shield present here is a Great River Road shield. |
Coming
into Prairie du Chien. |
WI
60 joins the club. |
Still
Prairie du Chien. |
Now
WI 35 goes solo. |
The
river is to the right. |
Coooooooollllllllll!!!! |
The
road is right above the river. |
A
busy-looking dam. |
Somehow
along the way, a railroad comes between the road and the river. |
The
river is pretty wide here. |
Bluffs
border the Mississippi. |
Continuing
on WI 35. |
Looking
across the wide, icy river into Iowa. |
Never
can get enough river. |
I've
spotted the elusive Subaru WRX again! |
East
WI 56 in Genoa. IL 35 was a beautiful road, but we must head back now
to get home before midnight (hey, I was still only 17 at the time). |
WI
56 is a great and relatively deserted road. |
East
WI 56. |
Coming
up on US 14, US 61, WI 27, and WI 82 in Viroqua. We'll take US 14 now. |
This
was the last picture before it got too dark. Madison is in only 84
miles. Only?! |
