Boy It Sure Is Flat Out Here

Monday our day began and ended by waterfalls. We started our day in Sioux Falls, IA, by driving to the Falls Park and viewing the beautiful Big Sioux River Falls.

 

Next we took off for Iowa. The drive was so different from what we've experienced on most of our trip. Lots and lots of rolling hills in the beginning of the day followed by nothing but flat fields of what we suspect is corn later in the day. We could see forever and yet see nothing at all. Judging by all of the contrails we really are in the "fly over states".

Lunch was at the Midwest Deli and Grill in Holstein, IA. We went to Holstein because of a sign advertising "pirates". It turns out the pirates were the local high school mascot and are no more due to a recent merger with another area school. The "philly cheesesteak was really good....would have been great if they had Philadelphia style rolls. A hamburger bun just doesn't make it.

Dinner was (belated Mother's Day dinner) at the Iowa River Power Company. We had a fantastic dinner by the Iowa River. The view was spectacular. Too bad this place isn't closer to home. The owner noticed our car and talked to us for quite awhile about his 3 Corvettes. A '69, '70, & '72. We encouraged him to join in the next Caravan to Bowling Green, 2014. Maybe we'll meet up with him again.

We drove 396.9 miles today and saw 3 Corvettes.
