Tuesday, October 6, 2020 - Day 3 - Chatham, Il. to Nebraska City, Nebraska

Up even earlier today so we could go to the Abraham Lincoln Museum this morning before heading out of town. We got to the RV parking area early (we had a 9:00 reservation, as reservations were required) and walked around the area a bit. The museum was very informative. We saw two 15 minute movies and reconstructions of his early life and his White House years. Although considered a great president he had detractors in his day. Definitely not making any comparisons with today's situation though! Then it was back on the road to Nebraska City for the night. Along the way we crossed the Mississippi River, went through Hannibal, MO and saw a sign for Mark Twain's birthplace - we didn't stop. We also saw lots of farmland and large farm equipment. The weather has been good. It gets cool at night but has been sunny and warmer during the day. Tomorrow it's supposed to be in the 80's. We arrived at Victorian Acres RV Park at about 6:00. Walked around the park and then had some leftover mac n cheese with mussels and wine. Went to bed early so we can get an early start tomorrow.
