Monday we stopped for the night outside Iowa city in a town called Williamsburg, at least that's what it said on the hotel bill. Each day started out with filling gallon jugs with water from the bathtub and topping off hay and water for the mules (it's an affectionate term) before hitting the road. Every two or three hours we would stop to water the animals and get gas. As the title of this post suggests there were lots of wind mills and lots of road work. It would be a theme all the way home, the road work not so much the wind mills. Fifty miles of open highway than fifty miles of road work or at least thats how it felt. Summer work season and stimulus money I suppose. The hotel in North Platte did not have the laundry facilities we had hoped for so we stopped at a Target around Des Moines for a few clothing items and snacks. Through no planning on our part, the hotel in Williamsburg was a "spa/indoor water park". It has nothing do to do with the story but I just thought I'd mention it. We ate some not very good dinner in the hotel eatery, did some laundry (thank goodness) and went to bed.
