Clinton IA to near Naperville (Lisle) IL, June 18
"...Shortly after leaving Dixon(sic. Clinton) about two miles, I crossed the "Father of Waters" and was at last east of the Mississippi and into Illinois, where I was told at the start I never would get with my motor bicycle. The roads improved at once after crossing the great river, though I had some difficulty finding the correct one going out of Fulton, Illinois...."
