Tuesday July 25th Kurt's Brithday



Happy Birthday Kurt
NO rest for Kurt on his birthday- we have lots of miles to cover today. We have the rest of Nebraska to plus most of Iowa. NE is pretty- the road is VERY straight and the views are of gently rolling farm ground- mostly growing corn and to a lesser degree soybeans. More trees appear the further east you go.
We stopped for the night at the IOWA 80 truck stop. Billed as the "largest in the world". We lucked into finding a parking spot right at the front door. Saved us quite a bit of walking as we made numerous trips inside- today was a laundry day.
We had dinner in the onsite buffet restaurant- I asked for a candle to decorate a piece of cake- instead the waitress brought an overfilled plate of ice cream, chocolate sauce and whipped cream with the piece of cake. We waddled back out to the truck!
