place where my grandmother on my mom's side was born. Nadine was
not in the mood, so we pushed on to the next road construction.
The hills here are rolling and covered with huge trees with lots
of big heavy leaves, which creates cool shade from the very hot
sunshine.
At 8: 53 am. we are 1454 km into our trip. Rapid City, SD was
our next stop for $ 13: 00 worth of gas. We grab a bite to eat and decide
to change drivers. If we change often, then it would not be a hardship
on either of us. There is still so much road construction that there is no
way to make up any time, but we seem to be staying on our schedule
pretty good.
Nadine can sleep with no problem, and she does. I would love
to share some of the sights with her, or at least be able to write them
down for future recall, but I must just trust my memory to write it later.
The day has become very hot so I cannot open the window for fresh
air.
At 1: 10 pm, we are1903 km into our trip. I pull into a roadside
gas station at Mitchell, SD for $ 15: 00 worth of gas and a drink. When I
step out of the car I can't believe how terribly hot it is. Nadine opens
one eye to see where we are and then falls right back asleep. Lucky
girl! There is very heavy road construction here and only one lane of
traffic is allowed to pass at any time.
At Sioux Falls, SD, it is 2: 20 pm and we are 2006 km into our
trip. We stop for a quick lunch break and a change of drivers. It is nice
to know we are more than half way to our destination. I snuggle down
in the passenger seat and think I must be tired enough now to really
sleep, but it is impossible. There is so much to see, even if we cannot
stop this time through. It is only a short distance, at 2010 km into our
trip, when we come to the junction with Interstate 28, south for 582 km,
according to our route plan. The roads are getting a little better and
more repaired. I see little of the scenery here as I really try to get some
rest, if not sleep.
Our next stop was at 3: 20 pm, 2146 km into our trip. Sioux City
Iowa was what the sign said but it is off the interstate. Nadine is taking
no chances and puts $ 8: 00 worth of gas in the tank.
Another memorable milestone, at 2146 km into our trip. We
entered Iowa, with a speed limit of 65 mph. I notice that the land is well
used and prosperous looking. Fields of different kinds of crops, with
corn being the most plentiful.
Everything was going along smoothly at 4: 55 pm, 2292
km into our trip. We are passing Council Bluffs, IA and then
almost joining Omaha NE at 5: 10 pm.
