KB: Who knew these states were so damn big? And who eats all this corn anyway? Well, there is livestock too since we saw numerous trucks filled with live pigs and turkeys on the road.
V: I haven't seen so many wind turbines in all my life. Western Iowa is a huge wind farm.
Day Three: Approx. 800 miles across most of Illinois and all of Iowa to N. Sioux City. Slight detour west of Des Moines to see three of the covered bridges of Madison County. Yes, romantic. Still no camping but a lovely Hampton Inn. And dinner from the camping food box prepared in the room at the Hampton Inn. Tomorrow - the Badlands!
