Jour 13
50's Diner in a train
4 septembre 2015, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
We stopped in for coffee to go before we hit the road, and expected maybe a diner in a railway car. But this was the whole train. Complete with a waitress who was probably serving coffee when this train plied the rails across the country. We resisted the caramel topped sweet rolls. Too sticky.En savoir plus

Hare in Mitchell
4 septembre 2015, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F
No its not an inappropriate autocorrect. We're stopped for lunch in Mitchell. We've already seen the main attraction, the Corn Palace, so Gordon decided to make it memorable by riding the buckin' hare outside our restaurant. Too bad he forgot his hat.En savoir plus

Jour 13
Getting rummy in big city traffic
4 septembre 2015, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
Nearing the end of day 4 of driving like bats out of hell so we can spend 2 days in one place over Labor Day weekend. Not exactly tired, but been on the road a while. And we're geezers. Driving through Sioux City ... LOTS of road construction. Rude drivers cutting in. Gordon being VERY helpful (he says I have to say that). Big trucks switching lanes. Cones in the way. "Lots of red lights ahead." "That truck wants over." "Looks like traffic is letting up ahead." "Really? Well, I trust your lazed eyes. They're better than mine." "Not as good as they used to be. Boy, I can't wait til they they have eye and tooth implants. They could implant a baby eye, and it could grow and grow, and when it is ready it would just pop out your old eye." "Just 30 miles til our exit."En savoir plus

Jour 13
Onawa KOA
4 septembre 2015, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
We arrived at the lovely Onawa KOA situated on a small lake. The lake is an oxbow of the Missouri Rivier. The weather has changed to warm and humid. Quite the change from the dryness in Montana and South Dakota.

Here is Heather pouring a glass of wine to celebrate our arrival.

We are staying here for two nights. Tomorrow we will visit the loess hills and the keel boat museum.En savoir plus

The happenin' place
5 septembre 2015, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
I love walking into the local watering holes and feeling the buzz. Here it just happens to be McDonalds. All the locals are sitting around in groups with billed hats on, exchanging news and sipping their morning brew. It's the place to be in Onawa.En savoir plus

Jour 14
Keelboats!
5 septembre 2015, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F
We saw keelboat replicas that float at the Lewis and Clark State Park! This is the fun thing that allows us to get our Iowa decal! And best of all... there was no admission fee!

Earlier we drove through the Loess Hills State Forest and Scenic Drive. Loess is pronounced "loss", which is what we thought of the small hills that Iowa is so proud of.En savoir plus

Jour 15
Johnny's Corner Cafe
6 septembre 2015, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F
Another local watering hole, this time with omelettes the size of Nebraska itself. And a 12 inch diameter pancake. And a waitress that moves at the speed of sound carrying it all, and she still finds time to smile.

By the way, the Onawa McDonalds was doubly entertaining this morning as, along with the bill-hatted regulars, there was quite a gaggle of aging bikers tricked out in beards, vests, and biker moll bling. Took a while to get our coffee but the convivial atmosohere and sartorial splendor made the wait worthwhile. Sorry, no pic. A couple of the men looked dangerous.En savoir plus

Jour 15
Our Angels make themselves known
6 septembre 2015, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F
I forgot to mention: We were contentedly packing away pancakes and eggs at Johnny’s Corner Café, when we started to hear chimes. We looked around for who might be getting a phone call. But the chimes went on and on, and they were an exceptionally pleasant ringtone. Finally, I decided it was our Angels registering their presence (or perhaps just their approval of our culinary choices). It was then that I noticed all the clocks on the wall, and that it was 11:00 on the dot. But I am unbowed. Angels know how to ring clocks.En savoir plus

Mayhew Cabin and John Brown's Cave
6 septembre 2015, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 93 °F
An important link on the underground railroad. Unfortunately closed so we didn't get to see the cave where the escaping slaves hid. They sure weren't going to hide anyone in that postage stamp of a cabin!En savoir plus
