Across the Plains

A most interesting day…

It started off when I tried to give our GPS the address for tonight’s motel and it wouldn’t recognize the address.

Then later on this afternoon we drove through a really nasty thunderstorm. Wind and dark and heavy rain. I slowed way down as I could barely make out the lights on the truck ahead of me and I could only see about three of the centerline dashes. I-80 in Iowa is posted 70 MPH. Apparently some folks take that as a minimum rather than a maximum as I was being passed by lots of drivers going every bit of the speed limit. The only saving grace is that I was traveling West and the storm was headed East.

This is why they call it the plains.
