It was a very foggy and cold, 33 degrees F when we started. Eleanor was running late due to the ice fog up north so we started a little bit late. The barometric pressure was falling. The wind was from the Southeast at 10 mph and gusting more than that. We made a large loop to the Mississippi river and back but it was a blank day. It only warmed up to 37 degrees and it felt colder.

It was very nice to go to Wittmonds afterwards and enjoy a wonderful feast. The Fried Chicken and cobbler were special treats. We also got to meet baby Charlie.
