Sun Jun 10 - After a leisurely morning doing laundry and just hanging out with our friends, we headed north to Iowa. We saw lots more of - you guessed it - corn. Who knew there was so much corn in this country? Today was much hotter and humid, we were trying to beat a forecasted thunderstorm. We arrived under threatening clouds but no rain, and had an authentic Iowa Italian dinner with our Browncoat friend :) After looking at the forecast weather patterns, we should manage to miss any storms - thankfully no tornadoes!
We came to the realization that the travel times that the AAA TripTik had given were off by quite a bit. Thankfully the GPS on our phones (Google-based) is very accurate. We realized there was no way we were going to drive 13 hours tomorrow, so we figured out we were going to have to cut out our side trip to Colorado Springs. We changed our hotel reservations from 2 nights in CO to a night in NE and one in WY, and added a night in Reno, NV (best to not drive 3 hours through the mountains after 8 hours in the desert!) We're still on track for our two nights in SLC for the major Browncoat shindig. :)
