Omaha a much bigger place than we thought, but we missed the rush hour, so we had no problems navigating through the city. We crossed the Missouri once again, to Council Bluffs, Iowa. The eastern part of Nebraska is greener. The colors of fall are emerging; goldenrod turning yellow and the corn is turning brown.
Crossing Iowa, many amazing museums: Danish Immigrant Museum, Bob Feller Museum and the Iowa Historic Aviation Museum to mention a few.
Iowa is more hilly than I expected. Rolling hills so you are not looking out over flatness. Passed the "Bridges of Madison County" before we reached Des Moines, which is another capital city. A note about the name of a convenience store found in Nebraska and Iowa. "Kum and Go" Just grates on me sort of like "U-Totem".
Most amazing site on the road today is a rest stop about at the 237 mile marker, east bound. It is dedicated to writers. The picnic shelters have a wall of metal with quotes from authors cut out-a special place. The pictures cannot do it ju
stice. Hooray for Iowa.
