Day 30 - Made it to Independence

We spent the night at the Walmart in Dodgeville, very quiet and we had a neighbor.

We headed out to Prairie Du Chien.  We stopped and walked around Blackwater Ave, a lot of beautiful old buildings.

From there we crossed the Mississippi River and visited the Casino Queen in Marquette, Iowa.  That turned out pretty good for us, we put $20 in a Sizzling 7 $1 machine, had a couple of small wins.  We slowly went down to$4, playing$2 a spin, and the next spin had three red 7's that paid $150!

We cashed out and headed to the buffet.  After paying for the buffet we left with $98 more in our pocket than we we arrived.

Our next stop was Elkader, Iowa just to check out the bridge there and some of the buildings.  The bridge was really interesting, it is a twin arch keystone bridge, it's also the longest key stone west of the Mississippi River.

Passing through Strawberry Point we took a few photos, more beautiful buildings.

Made it to Independence, IA just before sunset.
