Joe shows off some amazing flora near the city of Hampton Illinois. Not only is it poison ivy, but it is a mega-flora version of P.I. It winds up this tree to nearly half of the tree's total height. Poison Oak is the next greenery that we will have to look out for as we meander further south.
Here Ben and Joe wander down some lonely railroad tracks towards Fisherman's Corner Campground, as they return from the local Porter's convenience store. 
We were held up at Fisherman's Corner Campground for a few nights, as winter caught up with us for a while. We experienced 40mph wind gusts, temps in the upper 20s, and small amounts of sleet/snow, all of these conditions not being very keen for canoe travel.
The wonderful Smith family (Our Motorhome Neighbors) was extremely helpful to us while we hunkered down for the cold weather. Bob was kind enough to chauffeur us to East Moline where we got our computer fixed, allowing us to keep the blog going strong. Thank you folks for all you did for us :)

Hey Joe and Ben --
Still looking great after a month and half! Thanks for being so informed and keeping us informed. The blog is awesome....keep up the solar paneling.
Hope you enjoyed the cornfields of Iowa. I miss them...if the river by some chance leads you to denver, I expect you two to canoe up to my door for some warm chili.
take care, brothermen.
