Davenport has been a city with many interesting and attractive but I would like to continue the tour, allowing snow storms!
While chatting with another rider direct to Chicago, get the latest weather report with improvement in weather along the route. The destination today is the Keokuk Municipal Airport, north of the city.
This is what shows up in front of the nose of the Maule takeoff. VFR conditions are not, I would say 
and Maule are tossed by gusts of wind from all directions. I try to locate the Mississippi, and will not raise the share 
Below 2000 feet the situation improves and I can take some pictures. The presence of islands of various sizes should not allow easy navigation 
We're going to reach Muscatine, Iowa small town, known in early 900 as 'the world capital of pearl buttons'. Vireremo then left following the river 
fly over the Mark Twain National Wildlife Refuge, an area created for the protection of flora and fauna and migratory birds Mississsippi 
The wind drops and I can finally rilassarmi. A destra si scorge il lago artificiale Odessa, mentre ci avviciniamo a New Boston, dove il fiume Iowa affluisce nel Mississippi 
Superata Keithsburg, ci dirigiamo verso Oquawka, sulla sponda sinistra nello stato dell'Illinois 
Eccoci su Burlington , importante città dello Iowa 
Un altro affluente, lo Skunk river 
Fort Madison , sede del primo forte militare sul Mississippi superiore (1808/1813) e di un penitenziario di massima sicurezza. 
E' tempo di abbandonare la scia del fiume e dirigerci verso l'aeroporto municipale of Keokuk, a town completely unknown to me until today 
We land safely after traveling 89 miles in 44 minutes. The time to repair the plane in the hangar that a new disturbance brings snow. 
The soundtrack is provided by Stevie Ray Vaughan, one of the greatest exponents of American blues guitar. Listen Pride and Joy
Greetings and Happy New Year to everyone yet.
