On the Road Again - Day 3

We left Sterling, Colorado at around 9 AM. Not long after we crossed into Nebraska, we lost another hour due to one of those mysterious time-zone lines. They're marked on the map with a series of T's. There isn't any lines in reality. It's a map thing. I guess you just have to guess where the line is. That's OK. I knew it was coming so I was prepared. My watches have been reset and now we'll remain in this time zone until we head back to Arizona in the fall or...if we decide to hit the road again before that.

We arrived in Des Moines at around 6:45 PM. Nothing eventful. The weather was great. The wind was a bit windy but nothing too bad. I mean, there was an incident where it looked like the semi-truck in front of us almost lost it but other than that one problem, we did just fine. Oh...and it didn't really affect us at all but there was a bomb scare near Waverly. They shut down I-80 for most of the morning. We were still eating our free breakfast in Sterling so everything had been cleared up before we got to Waverly.

Tomorrow we'll be heading on to The Lake. Truth be told, we've been heading to The Lake every single day of this road trip. To be more exact, we should arrive at The Lake sometime tomorrow. I'm not sure if the computers will be up and running right off the bat so just in case...don't worry if you don't see a blog from me. Besides, I'm not sure how late we'll get in and we just might be too tired.

2. The farther you are from a situation, the more you tend to believe the news coverage.
