For all those who were worried, I made is safely to MN, Land of Ice and Snow. It started snowing about 15 min from home, and that's all the weather I had to endure.
It was a very enlightening time of listening to The Red Tent. I stopped only four times. At a rest stop, gas, Burger King, and more gas.
There's not much to say about the Nebraskan or Iowan countryside. So I'll leave it at that.
Love Gretel
