Travel, Day 3

I drove 490 miles today.
Another beautiful day and some great sights along the way.

First...crossed over the Mississippi River into Iowa.
(picture is not so great because I took it while driving on the bridge)








There was a nice Southern-style riverboat docked there. It's a casino now.
Don't worry...I did not gamble all my support money away : )











Saw the world's largest truck stop.











Visited the Herbert Hoover Library Museum.
They had a great "Iowa from A to Z exhibit".









Up next was a drive through Madison County.
I found one of the bridges and John Wayne's home.









Even more exciting was this momma deer feeding her little one!


It took a long time to get across the state, and then up North to where
I should have been in the first place. (still trying to figure out how I got off route)

Finally got to South Dakota.
Had a good dinner at Taco John's and was ready to call it a night.








And here is tonight's sunset, because I know you love seeing them.
