Iowa Baby!

Intense driving would be the best description of our first day on the road.  We cut through Lebanon on our way to Crawfordsville where we grabbed some diesel and only one short term destination remained in our cross-hairs.  The Machine Shed in the Davenport, Iowa area.  John was the man.  He loves driving the RV and he gave me plenty of time to rest up and prepare for the days ahead.



We left it as a secret until it was apparent we would arrive during normal business hours allowing Caitlin the opportunity to start the journey with a massive sugar buzz.  If you have never tried one of their cinnamon rolls, she swears you will have a new religion.  Not only did we arrive in time to stock pile some rolls, but we got there late enough that they were on clearance sale to make room for tomorrow's crop.

From the picture, it is difficult to tell whether Caitlin or Caleb was most excited about the unexpected treat at the Machine Shed.  Clearly, Caleb loves corn, not figuratively, but actually.

The joy was apparent on Caitlin's face.

Next stop was the I-80 Truck Stop, the world's largest truck stop.  The place is huge!!

After that, it was the cold, long, hard road ahead.  We put the pedal to the metal and plowed our way towards Billings!
