Just left clear lake Iowa

It is 62 outside and I am in shorts! The warmer clothes are packed in my other bag that we don't take out every night,, who knew.

Any way, if you saw the news this morning you know that since I am writing this, we dodged the bullet! The storm that hit Cedar Rapids we went through in Waterloo. It was awful! Ed and I could barely see the road. Peggy if you remember when we went through Maryland with the horse, it was worse yesterday!

Today it is cloudy and I haven't checked the weather between here and Murdo SD, but I will. So back later.

In the mid west

Well it has been an interesting morning. It is sunny right now, but we/Ed just drove through some hellish rain. Little hairy to say the least. Now we have a break until we get around Peoria. Which is coming up soon.

Ok so we made it. So now we are in the clear for a while. 😎

Now I have to show you what the farm a lot out here besides corn!

YUP windmills! There were tons!

Now we are in blue skies, and we have gained an hour, so it is only 10:26 am, but we have been driving since about 8 east coast. We were very pleased with the hotel last night holiday inn express and a local eatery called Creekside lodge, not a lodge now if it ever was. 😜

We enjoyed the dinner of fish & chips, and Ed had a drunken shrimp martini, I had wine. 😁

Not at sea at land

Ok ok, I know I am behind,,, we were just enjoying Lee and Coleen, and all the good food. To much good food. 😁

On our way out this morning we stopped at the over look at Hawks Nest state park, it was so beautiful 😎

Now we are in Indiana, we just stopped at the rest area ate our lunch, of wonderful crab cake sandwiches, Lee made the crab cakes as part of our dinner last night. I'll show you dinner later 😁

Right now, Ed is driving in rain, ugh
