Hello loyal blog followers. Today we made it all the way to wyoming. It was a long drive. Several really cool things happened. We were in Iowa and decided we should stop for gas except the town we stopped in was deserted. All of the gas pumps were removed and there were piles of dirt, roof high, around every building. We thought this was pretty bazar. We made it down the road a ways and realized that the sides of the roads were full of water and it was slowly encroaching on the road. We found out that right after we went through there that it was closed because that area was expecting a levee to break and there to be 10 foot flooding!!
We made it safely across and made the trek across Nebraska. If you've never driven across Nebraska, I highly suggest you continue to avoid it. It was very close to being as boring as Kansas. Lucky me I got to sleep most of the trip but I was awake about the last four hours keeping my mom company while she drove. It wasn't that bad. We got in at about.....oh..5 o clock here. We are an hour behind Missouri so when it is five here it is six in Missouri.
Tomorrow we are leaving around 6:30AM and will make it deep into Idaho. It will be another long drive but I think we will be able to do it. The scenery has to get better. Although today we did see 6 antelope, 3 deer and several prairie dogs. Hopefully we will get into the mountains soon.
I hope all is well with you and I will do my best to post tomorrow too!!
