Iowa is not Heaven

Well we overnighted in Lincoln, NE. Nothing real special there. There was a fast food joint next to where we stopped that has three full size gorillas on its front lawn and one on the roof. Called King Kongs. Go figure.

Spent the next five and a half hours of my life trying to get through Iowa. Very boring. See my previous post about Nebraska. Almost identical with absolutely nothing of interest. Note to self: flyover next time.

A moment ago we crossed the Mississippi River into Illinois. Things are looking up. And I have connectivity!!! Maybe I can do live updates.

We are making good time today with the usual stops for gas and to water the dogs. We are at 400 miles for the day right now at 230 central time. We want 400 more before the day is out. The only thing that will stop us is boredom or gassy dogs. We are listening to The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest. So that stops boredom. Don’t think I can stop the dogs.
