The Original Pony Express 2

The Original Pony Express

Our first touristy site! Only a 5 min detour. Happened to be at an
exit where we needed gas. Not too exciting. But fun none the less.

Taking on Nebraska

On the road again

This is the first time that Walker and Buster have ever cuddled. They
must be stressed.

We got up bright and early and were on the road by 7am. After sipping
some horrid hotel coffee I was in desperate need of my usual. Sadly we
are in the middle of Iowa... Really do you think there is a SB? We
pulled off to fill up at BP and there was no coffee. What? So Andy
graciously offfered to stop at the next exit gas station. "Kum & Go"
was my only option. Thanks but no thanks, I'll pass. But I see IT
there in the distance. No Andy not left, take a right. Three lanes off
traffic to cross with a truck and a tow? No biggie. Anything for my
SKVL. And now I am content as I watch the sun rise over the rolling
hills of Iowa.

Still at it

It is 9 o'clock central time. We are still at it. Andy plans on
getting to Des Moines before we stop for the night. (150+ miles from
our current location). So that would put us in around 11:30. We
decided to be nice and take walker out of my car. When we took the
water bottles put of the back seat and they were frozen... We couldn't
be so inhumane. So we actually let her in the cab with us to see how
it would go. Not too bad so far. She is just sitting on my lap. A big
surprise from what we thought she would do. Not crying. No freak out.
Probably just happy to be out of the cold.

We made it to Illinois!
