Day 20 September 17, 2025 Burlington Iowa to Glenwood Nebraska 267 miles
The day started out sunny but ended up cloudy. In fact we had some rain. The biggest shower was just as we stopped for lunch. It was really coming down. We had three of the side curtains off. By the time Rob had those back on the car the rain stopped. He got a cold shower and was very wet.
We drove almost the entire day on the same highway. What a change from previous days. Most of the terrain was flat with corn and soy beans. Some places were rolling hills with assorted trees.
Not many towns and certainly no cities. Lots of places have pumpkins for sale. Some houses are decorated for Halloween. Harvesting is beginning for the corn. The equipment they use is huge.
While we ate lunch a train went by. That is one of the few we have seen even though we have crossed lots of tracks. Most of the track crossings have been very rough.
The number of semi trucks was higher than expected. We were not on the freeway. They go much faster than us and are very loud. Sure glad we have head phones on. However, the murder mysteries we listen to always seem to get solved.
