Before this trip, I had never seen recycling trash cans at rest areas. They're at all the rest areas in Wisconsin & Illinois. The flower beds at those same rest areas are beautiful. Note the huge red & pink Hibiscus blooms & hanging flower pots at one area, as well as the ubiquitous recycling bins behind me.
At LaCrosse, Wisconsin, we left I-90 to drive Hwy. 35 S along the Mississippi River.
Some of this upper Mississippi is wide... some is channeled into much narrower stretches with locks & dams. Iowa is on the farther shore.

More of those recycling receptacles - in Illinois this time - along with the meticulous flower beds.
The final rest stop for five days in Lincolnshire, Illinois (a new, elite northern suburb of Chicago) was the Marriott Resort at which the UMJC Conference was held. Our second floor room was just above that wooden lattice arbor seat. It overlooked the main entry to the Marriott with its small waterfall & goldfish.
