Another day of empty. The scenery is earth and sky as we leave South Dakota and criss-cross south along the western Iowa border following the Missouri River; reversing the route of Lewis and Clark. We have no scheduled stops. At a rest area our attention is captured by a picture of the Desoto National Wildlife Refuge in the Missouri Valley. It's on the way, so we leave the freeway, put the top down and putter through this small paradise of shade trees and wetlands listening to the different voices of a variety of birds and choruses of bullfrogs.
Tonight is a special event for Jim. Tomorrow is his birthday and he's going to celebrate this evening with Huey Lewis. We scored a (as in one) ticket to this sold out concert in Altoona. He'll be in the 'Heart of Rock and Roll' tonight and back on the road tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteI just looked up your blog and realized I had missed a few days- the route you have chosen sounds like one I wouldn't mind going sometime.Happy birthday, Jim from Ram and me- hope you had fun at the Huey Lewis concert!
