long but gorgeous day

we are in council bluffs, ia tonight and we cross over the missouri river into nebraska in the morning. nebraska is a state that seems neverending especially when you go east to west.

it was hot today and somewhat humid so we used the a/c most of the time. this countryside is just unbelievable. the rain stayed south east of us although we would've enjoyed some. it might've cleaned the car off. carole still wants to wash it, i still want to leave it till we get home. it's not really that dirty, well not that you can see.

we took a side trip to one of the amana communities, a place mom and i visited years ago. their style of building is quite interesting. typical midwest farm styles but they put trellises on the outsides of the houses and outbuildings for vines. i will try to find a web site that shows it.

we are going into utah but on the eastern side, so far so good.

are we tired of the trip yet??? no, it's still great. just know we are heading west......
