We got into Des Moines a little late last night and by the time we got to bed, it was even later. We had to drag our tired old bodies out of bed early again today so we could get on the road. We had breakfast of waffles and syrup, plus coffee (lots of coffee) and finished getting ready to get out of there.
It was a long 10 hour drive today and we covered 560 miles with two stops for fuel and lunch. One rest area stop also was on the agenda and it was one of the nicest rest areas we have seen. Very nice decor, open and spacious.
I wish there was something interesting to say about today, but nothing comes to my mind. We did drive about 80 miles on backroads to avoid Indianapolis during their rush hour. There some interesting small towns on the way and we enjoyed seeing them with vibrant main streets. At least some of these towns are doing something right.
One more day and we will be back at the cabin. Then we will sleep in a couple days and back to work and on the road again to North Carolina.

I have been getting more and more spam from bloggers since I let anyone respond to the blog. One way to stop the spam is to cut off anonymous comments. It is very easy and painless to get a Gmail email account and use it to post on blogs. You don't have to actually use the account, but it gives you a portal into my blog.

I'm sorry that you didn't stop for a quick visit or use of spare bedroom on your way either way. We're only 5 miles off I-80. Hope you have a safe trip back and then to Carolinas.
