Nebraska to Iowa
Today started very early with an appointment at the Crossroads Ford service department in Kearney, Nebraska. Our truck told us it needed an oil change and they were nice enough to accommodate us as we traveled through the area. After the service was completed, we went back to camp and packed up to continue our travel to Indiana. As we left Kearney, NE, we passed under the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument.
We finished crossing Nebraska and are now in Iowa. Today was the first day that we had to drive in the rain. The rain was very heavy, but not dangerously so. Now that we are in camp for the night, the wind is strong and there is heavy rain again, but we are assured that the bad storms are staying away from this area.
Although Nebraska and Iowa have beautiful farm land and rolling hills, I did not take any photos. This part of the country is much more populated so traffic was heavier and needed more concentration. One thing that is different in this area and much of the eastern part of the country is that entrance onto the freeway is a "Yield" not a "Merge" like we have in California. You really have to be careful because, often, the drivers on the freeway do not slow down or scoot over for you if you are coming onto the freeway.
That's it for today. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
