The Mighty Mississippi

We left St Charles this morning and made our way to Freeport Illinois, the home of the tower of plates. A tower made out of plates, sounds interesting doesn't it. But it's not. It wasn't worth our time. But it was on our way so it wasn't really out of our way. We stopped in Dickeyville at the Holy Ghost Grotto, a shrine of weirdness.
Cassville Wisconsin was our next stop. We drove along a Mississippi River and came into Cassville where we took the Cassville car ferry.

 My car was on a boat! The trip a about 10 min long across the river into Iowa.

It let us off on a little dirt road in the middle of nowhere. We then got slightly lost but soon sorted it out. We ended the day in Fort Dodge Iowa. Tomorrow is going to be a big driving day.
