Day Three

So far, so good!  We had some breakfast at the hotel, then read the local paper and watched some morning TV.  Then we headed to Field of Dreams!  It is very nicely done, info was posted on the background of making the movie.  It's really a beautiful site.  After walking around and taking pictures, and buying postcards, we got back on the road. 

Across Iowa, and a then across Minnesota and into South Dakota.  Beautiful country!  Thank you God!  Rolling fields, wide open skies.  Saw quite a few wind farms with the turbines.

We passed something called the "National Cattle Congress".  ???  We have no idea what that was.  Maybe the cattle all get together and vote and say "nope, not gonna' " :)

Here is an interesting fact.  In Minnesota, they have rest stops.  Not just any rest stops.  Rest stops with PARKING ONLY.  Yep.  We drove by a couple of those.  It was just parking places.  No buildings.  Not even any porta-potties!  Usually close by there would be a sign saying "modern rest stop so many miles ahead".  Strange.

We did stop at the Northern Iowa Welcome Center rest stop.  Nice place.  Large shop full of crafty stuff.  And also a tornado shelter!

Stay safe and God Bless America!  We're off to see more sites tomorrow!
