We've driven quite a few miles and done quite a few things since our last posting. We stopped in the Chicago area for a few days and visited with Beccy's sisters (Rhoda and Anna), her great niece, Peggy and her husband Mark, and Bob and Karen McQuillan. We saw the Phils lose to the Cubs (3-2) on a spectacular Friday afternoon at 
Wrigley Field and took a walking tour of most of the area thanks to tour guide McQuillan before quenching our thirst at several bars located a few hundred yards from Wrigley. Thanks Bob!THEY BUILT IT - WE WENT..........
After leaving Illinois, we drove to the NE corner of Iowa and stopped at the Field of Dreams. It looked exactly like it did in the movie - except for the two carloads of Japanese baseball fans who were visiting it with us (tried to get a picture of that, but couldn't figure out how to ask them to "come out of the corn" together and still be PC). Anyway, it was neat being there.Drove across Iowa (and the Mississippi River) yesterday and stayed last night at a beautiful campground right on the Missouri river in NE Nebraska. Played a real nice, very tight public course this am (where Jim shot the first sub-80 round of the trip -78). Finished golf around 2pm and then drove north (with 30-40 mph cross-winds at times) into South Dakota. Arrived here at a quiet campground where we will spend the night before heading directly west across SD to the Mount Rushmore/Crazy Horse/Deadwood/Badlands area tomorrow. Lots to do in that area (including some great golf courses), so we'll probably spend a few days around there.
As always, more to come....hope you had a great Labor Day weekend!

Go Cubs!
Maybe you should go back to Wrigley so they can win again!
Sounds like you're having a great time.
