The Land of Lincoln

I arrived in The Land of Lincoln yesterday.  I cycled over the Mighty Mississippi,  after spending a little time in the beautiful town of Burlington, Iowa.

The previous two days I cycled into a strong headwind, with many raindrops falling on me. 

I spent about 5 days in the State of Iowa.  There are many very nice people that I met while I traveled through the Hawkeye State.
I do have to say that this had to be the worse state yet for cycling.  Most all of the roads I encountered, had no paved shoulders.
