LOCATION: Near McGregor, Iowa
WEATHER: Summer-like. High around 80
We took a 5+mile walk on trails in the park. It was under the forest canopy. All very nice until the Mosquitos and 95% humidity caught up with us.
This is the view from our campground....where the Mississippi and Wisconsin Rivers converge. 
We talked to the camp host who is gearing up for next weekend, when they are expecting about 20,000 leaf lookers. Glad we are here a week ahead of the crowds.
We took a drive along the river, to nearby McGregor and Marquette, in Iowa and across the river to Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. Big casino along the river.
We stopped at a winery, and were pleasantly surprised by their quality.
When we returned to the campground, it had really changed. Almost all the weekend travelers had left, and some retirees had checked in. A lot quieter!
DINNER: Vegetable curry. In an Asian grocery I found a curry product that I had frequently bought while living in Japan. It is almost like a Hershey's bar in texture and looks..little blocks of curry paste. I added the curry to sautéed carrots, potatoes and onions. Served it over some leftover rice. Oushi! As they say in Japanese.
