distance and the sky looked bad. So we switched into high gear. No fun
breaking camp in the rain. We can do it fairly efficiently.
We managed to skirt the rain storms fairly well, although there was lots of
thunder and lightening as we drove out of the camp.
In the western part of Iowa, we had some fun sights: a 20 ft. statue of
Pokahontas, a smiley face cut in the grass at a gas station, and an awesome
"wind farm" w/ loads of windmills (wind generators) for as far as they eye
can see.
We drove mostly 55 mph and had a whopping 16.8 mpg going, but had a nice
tailwind. Granted the picture of the wind generator is not the best; I had
to mess with the contrast, etc. to even make them show up.
We made camp in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Looks like this is the popular
place....more campers are stopping for the night. We're going to a movie
(Indiana Jones)and then ask around to see if I can find an internet
connection somewhere. g-nite
