Two hours into vacation and we have just passed the Amana Colonies. Shortly after Iowa City we came to a standstill. 45 minites later we reached the source - about 10 state troopers and a jack-knifed semi pulling what was supposed to be half of someone's home on the side of the road.
Weather's not so good. For a while we thought we were driving into our doom, but I think we're past the worst of the storm now. ETA: Um... maybe not. Looking really ugly just west of us.
Also, did you know that South Dakota is so hard up for residents, they're advertising on Iowa radio. "Start a new life in Watertown, SD!" the friendly radio voice urges. They have a lovely jingle too. Puts the Deerbrook jingle to shame.
7:20 PM and 279 miles to Lincoln!

My sis, her husband and son just moved to Watertown from Council Bluffs - I'll have to ask them if it was because of the radio ads...
ReplyDeleteWe neglected to tell you that this vacation was just a ploy to visit carrie d.'s family sites. We think we hit at least 75% of them. Would have seen more, if only we had a litle more time.
