Groceries: The drive to Galena coming from the east is a very present drive. You travel in a US Rt 20 which is a two lane highway. You travel thru many small towns such as lena, elizabeth, stockton. There is a grocery store in the town of stockton by the name of Sullivans, this is a great place to stop and stock up on reasonably priced groceries. In the territories there is a general store for necessities, there is also a wonderful deli and bakery and meat counter here. They do also rent more current videos here for a 24 hour time period. You can also stay on Rt 20 past the turn to get downtown galena and there is a piggly wiggly and a walmart super store. Gas at the walmart is usually cheaper.

Short cut to town: When you are driving out of greenview dr. you can take a left turn on to eagle ridge dr. your very next left is thunder bay dr. if you go left here and take that maybe 2 miles just before you see the trash facilty on the left side there is a farm road that will take you out to Rt 20 again. This will cut down your drive to town at least 15 minutes or more.

House essentials: When you arrive at the house you will need to turn on the water which is located inn the laundry room on the lowest level of the house. Behind the door on the far side of the furnace you will see a faucet, you need to open that valve when you arrive and close that valve when you leave. The thermostat has been programed for the heat and the cooling. When you arrive you need to open the cover and push run program and when you leave if you could set it at 55 degrees in the winter and in the summer at 80 degrees.

Ski: Our home is about 10 miles away from chestnut mountain that overlooks the Mississippi river. There is ski rental there in the winter and in the summer they have an alpine slide that is great fun for the whole family. In the town of Dubuque on the other side of the Mississippi there is sundown ski resort. They also have rental facilities, for your skiing pleasure.

Golf: There are four separate golf courses in the Galena Territories. There is the north course the south course and a short 9 holes course and also what is called the general a more difficult course. I am not a member of these courses, but you can easily set up tee times in the golf season.
