Day Eight was mostly driving, driving, driving. We did have a nice view of the Missouri River from a rest stop. Interestingly, most of the rest stops in Iowa have wireless internet! It's a bit frustrating driving through these areas with more traffic than we've seen since leaving California - lots of people going way too slow on the highway. We'll be through Iowa soon- onto Illinois and Indiana tomorrow, but I imagine this traffic will keep up now that we are in more civilized areas, on the interstates.
We did stop at Corn Palace (probably the most touristy thing we have done and will do this whole trip). It was interesting, but a quick stop along the way.
Continuing along, we finally stopped at Davenport, Iowa for the night, before we reach Indianapolis tomorrow. The weather is pretty bad - I'm hearing rain fall and it sounds like there may be some hail mixed in, with a thunderstorm approaching. In the counties all around there are tornado warnings and sightings, though not here, thankfully. Obviously, no camping tonight given the weather. We hope to camp once we reach Pennsylvania, or perhaps before then.
