Indiana-Illinois-Iowa-Nebraska-Wyoming

After spending the night in Ohio,
we woke up early to breeze through Indiana and Illinois.
We didn't even stop at the windy city,
the last major show of human presence on the earth that
we would see for the next several days.
Because after Illinois we plunged into Corn Country:

Nothing but corn for all of Iowa.
(although I hear there is a college somewhere in there for people
craving monotonous flat scenery... I love you Andy)
And almost all of Nebraska
although they have some cows too.
Just when we thought that we were never going to see anything
but corn, cows, and pavement.
We entered Wyoming.
A state that has cows, corn, pavement,
and a super creepy rock statue of Lincoln.
Try sleeping with this image on your mind.
Yikes!

But by western Wyoming
we got our first glimpse of the Rockies.
And snow.
More on that tomorrow.

Scary Yeah! Lincoln was a funky looking guy. Wyoming is very cool! Beautiful state! We almost had snow here today. It was very cold, wet, fine mist. It blew around like snow but was wet like rain. A bit lame.
