Today’s travels take us from the Walmart parking lot in Mitchell, South Dakota to Iowa to Nebraska and back to Iowa. The Missouri River is overflowing as are the tributaries we have driven by on our trip so far. Today, Alexander took a picture of a flooded on-ramp to the I29 and the surrounding stores. Now after stopping at a rest stop to ease the odiferous offerings from the back half of the motorhome, we now are offered the vistas of cornfields and farmhouses. Flat ground abounds in this area, so it is no wonder with the flooding of the Missouri River, the highway is also damaged and field after field has an enormous pond near a rows of corn.
Off to Winter Quarter’s Visitor’s Center. There we learned about the pioneers’ temporary 18-month stay in Nebraska in the harsh winter. We walked around the cemetery and viewed the temple.
Now off to dinner tonight in Iowa: Alexander’s choice…Carl’s Jr. but re-named as “Hardee’s.” Onward to GARDEN GROVE that is in IOWA not CALIFORNIA! The saints founded the city and the signage gives reference to this fact. Now onto a good night’s rest in Centerville, IA in another Walmart parking lot.
