I love this post! Did you stop and eat at that organic farm? It seems wonderful. I want to see it. Maybe when Steve and I drive to Iowa, we could stop there. :)
Very cool post!

That drive across Iowa and Nebraska can suck the life right out of your. You made it seem amusing.
Bethanie - I have eaten at that organic farm. Late November isn't the time to get an abundance of fresh produce in Iowa though. The rest of the trip, every hour, I would just pull over, stand up through my sunroof and take a picture of whatever I saw. I imagine your trip will look much the same!
Chelsea - thanks! I'm a little confused by the antelope hunting website though.
TimeInABottle - thank you. It sounds like you've done that drive before!
If you're sleeping at Hour 8 on Day 2, I would like to know where so I can get off the road.
