Gravemarkers Under Water

 Wrote a long post, but lost it in a connection snafu. 

Here’s the gist.  Highway closed at the Dells.  Tornados and high water.  Got off and drove south on blue highways through the unglaciated hils of southern wisconsin.

In Spring Green I saw a submerged cemetery, the gravemarkers only partially visible in some two feet of flood water.

Finally found Interstate 39 and headed south in Illinois.  Sun a blood orange as a it sank under a dark thundercloud.  It’s path below the horizon enflamed the sky.  It looked like a prairie fire in the rear view mirror.

Stopped in little Le Roy, Illinois and found this connection this AM.  Wrote post, hit publish and it went away into the cyber ether, never to return.  Oh, well.

Until tonight, I’m on the road.
