Chicago to Des Moines

We started off the morning at the Toyota dealership, having a strange sound checked out. Of course, the car wouldn’t make the sound while we were there, but based on what we told the mechanic he didn’t think there was a problem. It was rough just sitting in the car all day with no excursions planned. Just a long, straight ride to Des Moines. After a long day in the car we know how the Donner party must have felt. Also, another lunch of champions—a cup of cereal and milk and some Pringles.
