We left
Nebraska at 8:30 this morning. At some
point during the night the winds let up and they are at a manageable level this
morning. Nebraska has more hilly ground
than I remember from our last time through.
We are
chasing a storm this morning, not trying too hard to catch up.
Getting
ready to cross the Missouri River into Iowa.
Okay, I’m
getting better, I managed to get the whole sign this time, but you can barely
read it. Reaction time is good, focus is
bad.
Seeing Old
Glory flying always makes me smile.
We saw quite
a few farmers in the fields in Iowa, we wondered if the soil temperature was up
to planting standards. The rivers and
streams actually have water in them here – we’ve seen a lot of dry river beds
on this trip.
South Dakota
state line – got it right this time, but I have to admit I took it from a ways
off and edited it for a close up.
South
Dakota, land of pink roads. This road
just has pink borders. I took this one because
I wanted to show the contrast.
When I take
a picture of an all pink road you don’t notice how pink it is in a picture
unless you have the contrast.
Farm ground
in South Dakota is black dirt, looks a lot different from the sandy soil in
Kansas and the clay soil in Indiana. The
medians and road sides are nice and trimmed green because they bale the grass
off of them later in the year. You can
be driving along and see big round bales sitting all over the place in the
medians and alongside the road.
We will be
here until Sunday morning. We have
appointments to get our driver’s licenses renewed tomorrow. We plan to square dance on Friday and
Saturday.
