466 for the day so far, 6005 total miles. Another long driving day. We're headed east in Minnesota right now, our 20th state! Crossed the Missouri River several times today as we drove in SD, NE, and IA. We'll cross the Mississippi later tonight.
Stopped in Mike's Bikes & Ice in Yankton SD before crossing the Meridian Bridge to NE. Found two Polar water bottles, a brand that Dad really likes. Short bike ride in NE. Stopped for ice cream in LeMars IA, Ice Cream Capital of the World! That city is where two of Blue Bunny's factories are and where they produce the most ice cream as a single producer.
Right now we're seeing towers out in a field with wind blades laying nearby ready to install. I've become very intrigued with wind power on this drive. We've seen big farms and solo windmills, all different sizes, and in many different sites through the country. We're also seeing gas under $4 again, the first since New Mexico.
Tomorrow we are planning to cross Lake Michigan by ferry boat.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK ! (assuming you see this on the 18th) It sounds like all is appropriately exciting on your and Julie's ROADTRIP. I love the idea of what you two are doing. What a special car. Keep on truckin'. John
