As we left Dyersville, I had to take a picture of the campground, it had spacious sites, very well kept, and hardley anyone was there.
There was a tenter there the 2 days we were there but they were gone most of the time, and 3 RV's that came at night and left in the morning. We literally had the place to oursleves. That was nice for Bruno, we let him run when we took him out. He listens to us so good that it was easy to do.
Many people say that the mid-west is boring to drive through, but I found the farmland to be absolutely beautiful. Maybe its from having been raised on a farm myself or just plain appreciating God's beauty.
We crossed the Illinois line and into Moline.
We ended up parking the coach in the i-Wireless parking lot. They were having a concert that night and we saw several of these trucks. I wish we would have know ahead of time, I would have loved to see that performance. That's Toby Keith by the way.
This is what we stopped in Moline to see. We had read about all the things we could see at this museum.
As you can see, camera in hand, Don was quite anxious to go in.
They had several tractors and a few pieces of equipment but we were kind of disappointed. Most of what they talked about seeing was on kiosk screens. The museum itself was quite small.
This is a 1920 tractor.
This one is from 1931.
And this from 1959
John Deere was a Vermont blacksmith who began by building plows.
This was their first logo.
This is the only farm equipment company that still carried the inventor's name.
This is a more current logo.
When we left I of course had to take a picture of another farm.
