We hitched up last night and then left early for long day of driving. We had about 380 miles to drive across some of Illinois and almost all of Iowa on Interstate 80. This is the longest daily drive we have done since our start last June. We are used to 200-mile days: drive an hour and a half and do a pit stop; repeat until we arrive at our RV Camp ground at 3-ish in the afternoon.
Iowa was much more rolling hills than either of us had expected. We thought it would look just like Illinois – flat corn and wheat fields. There was corn and wheat just planted on rolling hills. We were exhausted when we finally arrived at the Pottawattamie County Fairgrounds’ pull-through spaces.
