Two of the four jacks that level the coach when we are camped have been giving us trouble. Ted has been having to go under the coach and give one or the other a push to get them to retract. Not at all fun when parked in a muddy spot or one with gravel. We stopped at the manufacturing plant near Moscow, IA to get them fixed. Two and a half hours later, we had four new jacks and they didn't cost us a dime. They were still under warranty. This company manufactures the jacks and hydraulic systems for the majority of RV manufacturers in the USA. The plant is non-descript and in the middle of corn and soybean fields.
While we waited for the coach to be fixed, we drove 9 miles to Tipton, IA for lunch in a cute little cafe. This town is another one that has kept its town square and maintains its old buildings. Tipton is also the site of the first public high school west of the Mississippi.
More wind turbine parts on the way. These were at a truck stop north of Galesburg, IL, birthplace of Carl Sandburg. We saw a huge wind farm near Peoria. We don't remember seeing it last year. 
This such a typical Illinois farm. I grew up about 150 miles from here seeing these all the time. 
Look at this sunset and the black dirt. Makes me a little homesick.
