Today's posting is bought to you by the letter I - Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. (Drive, drive, drive)
As we came west there were less trees (although some were in beautiful colour), more open spaces, more cultivated land, more towns and businesses along the highway, more bill boards and very heavy traffic (at least until we passed Chicago). There was a lot of construction on the highways.
I have never seen so many trucks as I have seen the last few days. There were more big trucks on the road then cars until we got past Chicago. We met them at the rate of 20 per minute.
We passed some very big wind farms.
We passed John Wayne's birthplace - De Soto, Iowa.
