Wednesday, Here Early

We are here, in Lennox, SD, at Countryside RV Park, a day early.  Tired and not doing anything until tomorrow.  Our drive today was the toughest, yet.  Strong head winds and a road with many small hills, or slight inclines, killed our gas mileage...going 50 mph on I 80, a sad 3.25 mpg.  Then on I 29, in  Iowa, with no wind, and a straight road, how does 11.25 mpg at 59 mph sound?  Much better, huh...

A couple interesting observations along the way...names of creeks and rivers like, South Skunk River, Raccoon River, Soldier River, Pigeon Creek, and my fave, Kickapoo Creek, crossed it a couple times.
Also watched a small flock of vultures, circling high in the sky, and guess over what...a cemetary.  A little amusement for the day.

As yesterday, I will use my pics to share more info...

                                                                             Cute
                                              Many more windmills in Iowa than Illinois
                                                       They are so awesome and huge
                                    Saw the props going down the road on three flat bed trucks
                                                                       They are gigantic
                                                       Sample of Iowa's terraine
                                                   The road is the same, up and down
                                                           Yahooooooo, South Dakota


Will post pics of campground tomorrow, it's not bad, beats Walmart

Nite all
Life is so good
