Believe it or not Iowa is very scenic. Driving north from Iowa City to Decorah took me on, what Least-Heat Moon, called "blue highways." Those are the roads that are marked in blue in the atlas, county roads and lesser state highways. Decorah is mostly north from Iowa City and there are no interstates or four lane roads between them. So it was two lane roads that often ran through small towns, many of which I'd never heard. It was a beautiful 130 mile drive to have an early lunch with Jenine.
The Interstate 90, to Interstate 29, is efficient but soulless but it brought me to Brookings by 5:00 p.m., for a joyous reunion with Kaia. She'd been a good girl at the kennel and now we're mellowing out in The Little House.. For some reason driving 500+ miles today leaves me a bit weary. We're both glad to be home after a 1144 mile road trip, interspersed with fabulous hospitality!
Takk for alt,
Al
