After a longer rest break, Andy and April were up for riding today... While they rested this past weekend I flew to Dallas, TX and attended the 45th annual black belt training clinic for Juko Kai International. I was not quite so rested this morning!
But we hit the road, and the miles seemed to click off pretty regularly today. We put 75 miles behind us, and we are now just over 100 miles from the Minnesota border. Along the way today, I had to turn around and take this photo. It was just too good to pass up! However, in all fairness to the great state of Iowa, the route really was scenic after we passed the corn fields!
I am currently blogging from the Traer public library, and it is a great facility. It is obviously valued by the community as it is state of the art, very well kept, and signs point the way to it in this town of less than 3000.
We're off to find a bit to eat and a shower... the 90 degree weather continues to follow us northward.

Just another 520 more miles! Hope to see you soon.
The 90s beat you here! It seems like the road should be enough of a fight without intentionally get beat up in Dallas. DJ
Your committment to the cause is commendible! Funding for part-timers is very much lacking at all MNSCU schools.
Safe travels to all!
I was also in Dallas Tx with John this past weekend and many compliments regarding your integrity and your character were made. You are an insiration to us all!
