A Down Day in Council Bluffs, Iowa


We elected to proclaim a "down day" following a difficult drive of only about 225 miles across a good portion of Iowa yesterday.  The major problem was a chilly wind that we were driving against for the entire distance (I really don't want to know how much it affected our gas mileage).  Of course, this was also compounded by plenty of construction along the way and some rain, most of which was encountered when Deb was driving.  Ah, but that is typical.

Most of today was spent in the less glamorous aspects of our travels, like laundry, cleaning, cooking, checking fluid levels, tire pressures and making sure that the TV antenna that I reported on earlier is sufficiently secured until I get a chance for repairs.

Tomorrow we will be heading first North and then West and you'll probably be hearing from us next from some location in South Dakota.
