Beautiful Drive Across the Plains...Now in Nebraska

Well, We did a 12 hour drive and are settling down for a good sleep before the final 5 hours tomorrow. Though we have been offered or invited to Iowa many many many times we have always had either another booking or it was out of our way in a tour. So Starting Thursday we will do our Iowa Debut.
In the drive Victor, happy to be free from his figure 8 harness for his broken clavicle, was practicing rope ties. He escaped everytime. No trick ties...real tie-ups. All the kids were hitting the books most the drive as well. Victor actually read over 100 pages...a big thing for him. We will pick him up a new book tomorrow.
It was a very cool day mostly overcast. There were a few pretty impressive gusts of wind that gave the van and trailer a little push...but at least we weren't driving against the wind today (added 2 extra miles per gallon compared to yesterday.
We listened to a few mix cds that I titled "Fun Music". We also listened to some great old time radio, Our Miss Brooks, Boston Blackie, The Mysterious Traveler, etc. So much fun.
Blessings to you.
