Much nicer weather after all the rain we drove through yesterday and the odometer read 338 miles.
Gas in Ottumwa was $2.44 for regular plus and $2.54 for regular. I never have understood why regular is almost always ten cents more expensive in Iowa. I'm always tempted to use the cheaper plus stuff, but figure I'd have problems id I did. And, even at $2.54, it was still 19 cents cheaper than in Dekalb, Illinois.
IOWA CRUISING ON US-63
US-63 south of Ottumwa definitely has some beautiful rolling hills and extra passing lanes on the inclines, always nice to have, but I was the one being passed today.
We went through Bloomfield, Iowa, which had a pretty court house as the county seat of Davis County.
We were now in Amish country and saw several of their buggies, only different from the enclosed ones. For the summer, they sport a convertible look.
There was also a sign "Share the Road" with an Amish buggy on it.
At the state line, there were several big fireworks stores.
Now in Missouri. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
