It has been my dream for some time to explore the West. My gracious and lovely wife consented to go along with me. Together, we are on an adventure that will take us to who knows where?
We had a great send off this morning, Saturday July 9, from McDonalds. What better send off than from some of our loving grandchildren and children.
After our goodbys, Judy and I hopped onto the trike and away we went. We did get a late start but having breakfast with the kids was worth it.
For the first four hours, the ride was pretty boring. The eastern half of Iowa reminds me of central Illinois, flat and no scenery. The last couple of hours, we drove over small hills. We made it to just East of Des Moine. We found a KOA and set up camp for the night.
As the sun settled in the West, Judy and I took our showers and headed to bed. I hope we sleep well tonight. We will need it. There will be thunderstorms headed our way tomorrow. I can hardly wait. One nice thing about getting absolutely soaked while riding your cycle is you don’t have to stop to go to the bathroom.
