Day 34: Back in the East again?

Well, at least we are east of the Mississippi again, having crossed at Dubuque.

This day's drive took us through  our old stompin' grounds, where we lived for the first three years after we married.

We awoke to sunshine and warmer temperatures in Iowa, but as seen in the pictures, we went back into heavy clouds as we got into Wisconsin.

We drove past typical Wisconsin scenery on our way to Madison.

We have set up camp at Lake Farm Park, a Dane County park just south of Madison.  The beltway around Madison is not far away, so we can hear traffic noise, and we must be in the path of planes taking off from the airport.  But the park feels surprisingly remote, with lots of open marshland and trees just turning color.  

Kak and Susan came over for dinner.  Actually Susan BROUGHT a delicious dinner, so we did not even have to cook.  Then we enjoyed a campfire before they had to head back, in order to get up for work tomorrow.

Damp and foggy this morning, but the forecast is for sunny and in the 70's---a beautiful fall day ahead!
