Hello again.  Today I'm writing from Reedsburg Wisconsin.
Since the last time I wrote, a lot has happened.  We had several gorgeous days in Illinois with strong tailwinds, and we had a rest day in Chicago.  We also had a ride along on father's day, and a hospital visit the next day.  Now we are busy moving through Wisconsin,which has many more hills than I thought.
On a side note, if you are ever in Wisconin near LaCrosse, look for bags of fresh milk.  Its still pasturized and everything, but it's fresher, and it tastes better.
