Well the super highway is on a pretty flat route. The pick a new route every year and it is all on smaller roads. Iowa is not nearly as flat as you might think. A lot of rivers run through it that have carved broad rolling valleys. Also it slopes up from east to west by several hundred feet. But yeah, 60 miles in 8 - 12 hours is pretty darn tame. Just the butt getting sore for the sitting so long on the seat.

See you all later...Steve's on his way home. His lip's giving him grief.

See you in the morning!

I'll take your word for it! I've driven through Iowa once, and spent a day and a half in Mason City when I was thirteen for my great-grandmother's funeral. Wasn't very impressed but I'd just spent two days in the car and had been to a funeral immediately before we left home as well.

I got mad at someone at church Sunday who was mocking Pittsburgh even though he'd never been there. It's such a lovely town, and a beautiful - if rainy - area. So I don't want to say anything offensive about Iowa.

Kansas, now...
