Day #1
We hit the road around 10 am....Buddy was very excited to come along, but once we hit the road he wasn't sure what happened to his little life!
We didn't come across anything too exciting, just a few oddities such as:
-Turkeys attacking a squirrel in a field of corn
-We were getting bad gas mileage, we stopped and found that there were acorns in the truck's air filter
-Stopped in Iowa and went to turn on the heat...hmmm squirrel made a nest in the furnace
WHAT'S WITH THE SQUIRRELS???
Other encounters and happenings.....
Bad storm, we saw a semi burned in the highway, the road was closed and traffic backed up for miles, thank goodness we were westbound, but we pulled off early and slept in between semi's at Casey's station!
Day #2
On the road again......whoohoo life is not a beach when pulling a camper on roads that don't get snowplowed. We were hearing closures on the radio, couldn't figure out why because there was only a few inches of snow. Quickly figured out why when we drove through Iowa and half of Nebraska being seeing a Snowplow. Then what was the snowplow doing? Plowing the side of the road, not using sand or salt....very interesting to see how other people live!
So we're driving driving away, oops, gas tank is on empty...took an exit in no mans land...thank goodness for a fuel tank in the back of the truck! Windy, cold, Buddy came out for a stretch, poor pooch wanted to go right back into his kennel in the back of the truck! He's getting a bit spoiled sleeping in the camper here with us. Buddy is training Nathan well, he looks at him with his big sad puppy eyes and Nathan throws him a treat! They're bonding!
MMmmm, pizza's done, catch you later! I'll download photos when we get more organized!
