Day 12: Peoria Redux


Looking Down the Illinois Towards Downtown Peoria

Visit the cat museum we were told over and over.  We like cats, so, what the heck, it was the first thing we did this morning.


A Boy Can Dream...

We were thinking kitty cats not Caterpillar heavy equipment!  What a we'll done tribute to their employees and customers.  Very cool seeing the extensive engineering that goes into the machines.


Peoria Flowers

Our land legs need exercise so we walked to the zoo and the arboretum; not easy as it was uphill, both ways.


Nellie's Trip thus Far

The picture above shows our 729 mile journey to Peoria.  Still at the Peoria Boat Club.  Tomorrow we press on to Chicago.  Zero miles today and 729 miles to date.  DBH
