5:45 A.M. we departed Kalona, IA and headed on our way. 900 miles and just under 13 hours later we are in the snug town of Rawlings, WY. The trip was pretty uneventful but it did have some very interesting moments. First of all, I have to tell you, Nebraska may be one of the strangest states I have ever been in. To patrol the state, the troopers just park their cars in the middle of the median with no one in them. Another thing that made me laugh out loud (besides my 'you might be a redneck' jokes), was the fact that after mowing the medians and bailing them the hay bales were placed on the road. Yes, you heard it right, ON THE ROAD. In the opposing traffic, the left lane had a handful of hay bales just sitting there. Thankfully, that lane was coned off, but still, it was very amusing to see. Apparently, placing them in the median wasn't good enough. :D Anyway, the trip went really well. Along the way saw some deer, more than a dozen pronghorn, and a family of turkeys. If I was feeling more creative I could probably put together a song based off the twelve days of christmas, but not this time. I guess you will just have to wait until the another post for me to do that! :D I am not sure how much I will be able to access the internet, but I will try to update the story of Northwest Vacation 2011 as best as possible.
Tomorrow, the next stop will be the Grand Tetons! Until next time!
Hey Hardman! I'm glad you are having a fun trip. I MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!! lol. :D That is hilarious that they place haybales in the middle of the road in Nebraska, probably because nobody drives there. :) Love ya!
