The alarm went off at 8 again this morning, and we were tired and it took longer than usual to get up. We also discovered we were indeed in Central Time, so it was really after 9. We were on the road by a quarter to 11 (central time).
Basically, we spent the day driving. We did see some billboards for the Corn Palace so we drove to it and thought it was so lame we didn’t even park the car and try and visit. OK, perhaps we were a little embarrassed at the thought of being the only ones walking in to the place…
We stopped for the night in Davenport IA, and the hotel clerk directed us to a Texas Road House for dinner. Brenda loved their chili and their bread with cinnamon butter. The manager gave us a coupon for a free appetizer on our next visit. As we probably won’t be back here anytime soon we’re thinking about finding a local geocache and leaving it there.
Harlan got the digital pictures loaded into the Badlands album of the galler (this link may not work after the albums are renamed to something better than “album57”, but for now they should be OK).
