Kit and Carol on the Road

Sunday (8/28)we left South Dakota, cut through Minnesota, and settled into Iowa for a few nights. The view along the way is pretty much corn and soybeans (We learned about soybeans from Roy and I am waiting for mine to get ripe). Iowa has some big wind mills like the ones on the wind farms in California. You can always tell when you are coming to a town because you can see the water tower and grain elevators from afar. Even the tiniest towns are tidy, and they all have optomistic mottos like: "a great place to live". We are staying in Iowa's resort country--"the great lakes of Iowa". Luckily resort season is mostly over. We found a great bike trail that goes nearby--partly on old railroad and partly on the streets. Kit went north to Minnesota yesterday and we both went south today--20 miles RT. (Monday) Hopefully I'll have a photo to post later today. Then we drove 20 miles to a fabric store in Spencer. It's hot (85) and humid here but there is a bit of breeze. Diesel was $2.50 in Huron, SD but we paid $2.55 here.
