Monday, July 20 2009: Colorado – Iowa

Today we drove and drove and drove and drove some more. A minor victory dance was performed in the front seat as we saw a hill mid afternoon, and only two minutes into Nebraska we saw our first corn-stack. No cliches at all.....

One stop we did make, was in Burlington where Char stopped to say 'Hi' to her ex co-workers. She also showed us her haunted house. We were disappointed not to see any ghosts ourselves as we passed.

As always, we stopped at the state signs as we passed whenever possible. At the Kansas border we happened to arrive at the same time as a large family group of about 10 people. They very kindly took our picture and we took theirs. This saved us the usual balancing act that the camera has to do on the car roof as we run to get into the frame before the timer is up.




We arrived in Des Moines late and spent the night with Bob and Debbie Short. Thank you so much for your hospitality.
