Sue and I are putting the final touches on our next road trip that will begin this Saturday morning.
From our home in Minnesota we will be traveling South through Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota. All back roads meaning no interstates or freeways and all mom and pop restaurants and motels. We always try to make the rides feel like the old Route 66 theme. We are hoping for some cooler weather but the forecast is calling for 90's and humidity. Oh well, just another excuse for an extra beer or two at the end of the day. Bob

Sort of
reminds me of the last trip you took.
Excitement is rapidly building in our household as we prepare for
the "Big Event". Just a a preview to what we expect to see on our trip is this beautiful structure. Yup... one of our stops along the way will be
to Stanton, Iowa, the home of Mrs. Olsen from the Folgers coffee commercial. Here is a picture of their water tower. By the way, in case you were wondering,
it holds 640,000 cups of coffee. Bob
