Sue, You give the driving time but do not say how far it is to Iowa. I know that my friends and I will drive to Galena which is on the border of Iowa near the Mississippi river just to shop and lunch for the day. I think that probably takes us 3 hours from here and the distance from Crystal Lake is about 124 miles. The roads are mainly just two lanes but not too many passing places. A pleasant country ride.

I wouldn't want to do 4 hours on UK motorways :( Sue ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brenda Paternoster" <[email protected]> To: "H.
