The second two days went by almost without a hitch. Unfortunately the floor lamp is down. It shimmied underneath the little red sled and bent in three spots. The path of destruction doesn't stop there. While driving yesterday a semi kicked a rock up into the wind shield almost square between my eyes as I was driving. Aside from those incidents we've managed to haul across four states.
On the way to Grandma's House we stopped at Rushmore for some photos. The mountain sculpture was smaller than what we imagined, but definitely impressive especially since it was made in the 20's. The towns in the surrounding area were pretty neat since they preserved the qualities of the ol' West. It was also good to see some great forestland before plunging into the flatlands of the midwest. Here's a few pics from rushmore:
It wasn't until South Dakota that I really started to feel like we had crossed the point of no return. Until that point Idaho, Montana and Wyoming resembled an extended Washington State. The tipping point may have been the heightened sightings of adult supercenters, Jesus loves you, the bible is the way and abortion is not the answer billboards that made me realize we weren't in liberal country anymore. Here's hoping that our heathen souls will make it to the promise land!
Our destination is Madison, Wisconsin tonight. We are about to pull out of my Grandma's house and continue on like a herd of angry turtles!!
More pictures to come! We thought we had a little more time in Iowa but alas must push on to Wisconsin!
I love the pictures!!! Especially of Mt. Rushmore. Shaka seems to be having a great time.
