Today we drove from North Platte, NE to Ames, IA where Dave grew up. Not surprisingly, the drive along 80 looked a lot like where we left off.
Once we got to Iowa, not much changed...so we took a picture of the side of the road.
On the horizon we noticed a giant bridge over the highway & snapped a picture when we got closer. We weren't sure what it was, but after Googling it we learned it is the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument. Beautiful!
Oh, but then it got exciting and we saw a house going down the interstate. That pretty much capped the day's excitement...until...
We passed a giant thing that looked like a plastic whale.
But, it turned out to be a blade from one of those giant wind turbines.
Stopped for gas and couldn't help but admire the grain bins.
Dave was so upset that he missed the "Welcome to Ames" sign...but he managed to snap a picture of a chicken that we think was there to welcome us into town. What hospitality.
We're in Ames for two days to visit with mama Teas and see some old friends. Then, we're off to Illinois for some baseball on Friday. We'll get back to posting more updates on Friday.
Stay tuned...
Stay tuned...
