Sept 13-16 Le Clare, IA to Sioux Falls, SD to Belvidere, SD

Last evening, locals at the campground mentioned the American Pickers original store, Antique Archeology, is nearby, so we set out north on the Great River Road along the  Mississippi toward their store in Le Claire, IA (childhood home of Buffalo Bill is nearby)

If you are a fan of the show, this building is familiar. It's an old re-purposed service station.

Mike and Frank were not there but were in Ohio, picking and filming the show.  This is their old van.

Inside the bay are Mike and /Frank's private collections as well as "picks" for sale.  Most picks sell within a month or two.

Inside the second store at the site.
           There are also plenty of souvenir caps, stickers and t-shirts for sale.

During the day, our ABS and a couple other dash warning lights came on intermittently at first and then stayed on.  We camped at Albert Lea KOA.  Beth located a dealership in Sioux Falls, SD.  The dealership indicated the defective part was under warranty and ordered replacement overnighted. We spent the evening of 9/15 at Tower Campground near the dealership. It's Wednesday 1PM, and our camper fixed.  We are back on the road   Overnight several hours west at at Belvidere KOA, SD.
