384 miles via the back roads of Iowa. As Robert said yesterday - it took years for John to actually GET to Iowa and we all thought we'd never get out of it!
The route we chose included Hwy 30 and Hwy 17- both of which had detours that added useless miles to a very boring ride.
How boring? I, or one, came dangerously close to dozing off while riding!
If you ever think California has corn - forget it! Iowa has miles and miles of corn and quite a few feed lots too!
We had some rain, but we were still on the two lane road so it wasn't too bad.
We arrived in Mitchell at the Thunderbird Lodge early enough to go to Cabela's - I believe it is Mitchell's one claim to fame! Mitchell also must have the largest herd of mosquitoes in the USA!
Today we are riding the interstate to Rapid City. We hope to get there early enough to check in and then head to Mount Rushmore.
