On the Road




Since it rained all week we didn't do much. Packed all our clothes when it quit raining Friday. We left Saturday morning about 9:00 for an uneventful ride across the plains. Saw 2 flocks of Pelicans in Iowa - weird don't remember those here before. Saw this at a gas stop west of Des Moines, someone should have told the sculptor what a corn stalk looks like. The camper trailer pulls well, it didn't track perfectly above 85 (hey, it was Nebraska, and I was just keeping up!)with a good crosswind but I couldn't feel it affecting the bike, just saw it in the mirrors. Stopped for the night in North Platte, Nebraska 550 miles for the day. Ate at a place called The Whiskey Barrel, allot like Texas Roadhouse but they played Blues instead of Country. Good food too. The weather channel says it's 48 deg this morning. Linda says it's time to get out the long undies for a little while.
