Another hot day!

We had a rather lazy morning and shortly after we were on the road, we made a stop at a “historic” site. Known as Iowas 80 – world’s largest truck stop. Everything a trucker could ever want as well as souvenirs and gifts and lots of food options. If you wanted fast food, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen or others or a sit down meal, you could have it here.

We arrived at our stop for tonight before 5. It was in a small town south of I80 just before we got to Nebraska. The staff was still working – this is normally a self checkin park. However, one of their camping areas is being upgraded and the area with paved sites was full. That left the grassy sites and the park staff was concerned the grass might be too soft for us. – they had 5” of rain yesterday! When he heard we didn’t need any hookups, he offered us a spot at the gate for no charge since we just wanted to stay overnight. They also have a compound with buffalo here so we had our first viewing, but behind a fence. Tomorrow we head to spend a few days with cousins.
