Crossing Into Iowa

Leah and Chuck were headed for Aurora, Nebraska on Friday night and they made the 60 miles in a driving rain which luckily cleared by the time they arrived and they were able to set up camp in relative dryness. Then, yesterday they pulled a 70 mile day, clear to Lincoln where they were wined and dined by Leah's cousins Jim and Anneta. They are a wonderful couple who live in Scribner, a bit north east of Lincoln.  Actually Leah and Chuck stayed at Jim's friends Mary and Jerry and they had a splendid time with a fine dinner being served and great conversation (mostly politics I suppose as that, of course is the general topic of discussion these days)  and comfy warm beds being graciously provided.  In the AM Jim and Anetta picked em up and took em to breakfast at the local IHOP. Leah said that the whole time spent with these fine folks was fabulous! So today (Sunday) they pulled another 60 and made it to a State Park about 12 miles into Iowa. Our traveleers rack up yet another state. That makes seven which everybody knows is a lucky number.

The days are getting shorter and cooler and they are rolling out of bed and getting on the road a bit earlier. In Iowa, the corn is as high as an elephant's eye as, I'm sure are Leah and Chuck.
