On the way to Paducah we stopped by The General's
house in Galena and found both he and his lovely
wife,
Julia Dent Grant receiving visitors prior to
the next days review of the GAR.

The next day we
traveled on to classic mid-America,
http://www.wapellocounty.org/americangothic/
and saw
not only
the Front, but the generally not seen Back as well
as the largely ignored Port and Starboard.
Talk
about an enriching experience!
In fact discovered
that if you are planning to move to Eldon, you may
rent the house,
the last tenant moved when she
accepted a job elsewhere and at the time we were
there it was available.

After getting lost
with the new GPS, after all with a GPS who needs paper
maps (?),
the next day we crossed the Mighty Ohio at
Cave-In-The-Rock,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave-in-Rock,_Illinois
on the
Loni Jo
to arrive in the
Dark and Bloody Ground, one of the four
Commonwealths.
