It is pouring rain here today so I am playing with routes.  The mapping 
program likes to keep the route to Interstates but I like the back 
roads.  My most recent idea takes me along 136 just north of Lincoln

A further tweak takes the route across the river at Keokuk.  The route 
takes me right by the Dadant & Sons beekeeping supply in Hamilton.  I no 
longer have bees but will one of there days again and I can always look at 
the stuff..
