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
