We arrived to Gene and Marita's farm (3R Ranch www.rouseredangus.com) a little before 10:30 Sunday night. We're lucky to have such a great place to stop on our way to Ohio. It would be a little bit shorter to drive through Kansas, St. Louis, etc. We took that route two summers ago on our way back from Ohio so we could visit my cousin Adam in St. Louis. That part was nice, but the drive through the rest of Missouri and Kansas was pretty miserable. I-70 could use some better traveling accommodations including updated rest stops with changing tables. Plus, I have painful memories of both boys screaming their heads off for a couple of house before they finally fell asleep in our hotel in Topeka.
The Rest of Day 1:
Rest stop before Kearney, NE:
It was quite windy which I prefer over hot and humid:
Sign for Fort Kearney:
Archway Monument- the best (only?) good thing about the NebraskaPortion of I-80:
McDonald's in Lincoln:
Welcome to Iowa! Woo-hoo!
Just after we crossed over into Iowa, the van reached 25,000 miles. I love my mini van:
Wind mills in western Iowa. I'm glad the U.S. is investing in more wind energy. When my mom and I were in Denmark 12 years ago, it was amazing how many wind mills we saw. As windy as Casper is, I think they should plant a few hundred wind mills there and the entire country would be powered.
100 miles to go according to the GPS:
Almost there:
The boys slept in a "big" bed together as they shared the hide-a-bed:
