We were on the road by 7:30 this morning. We decided to go back to Decatur a different way. We took I-80 into Omaha and all the way across Iowa. We discovered that it was 481 miles to take US36 to Lincoln but it was 550 miles to Lincoln taking I-80.
We saw some farmers were busy getting in their crops. We had also seen some fields of corn in Missouri. Iowa farmers use terracing in their fields. We had not noticed it before, probably because other times we were through this way, the crops hadn't been harvested.
Around the Des Moines area, we saw snow.
We ate lunch at the Machine Shed in Davenport, Iowa. We highly recommend it. The food was plentiful and very good.
We started the day with a sunrise in Lincoln and we are finishing the day with a picture of the sun going down over the Land of Lincoln.
Our trip is over. It was a great trip and we were glad to be able to be with John, Linda, Katie, and Aidan.
