We thought that we would beat the weather today, but it outsmarted us. We waited at the hotel until the thunderstorms passed and then cycled about 25 miles when it started to rain. We took cove in the Ranch Pizza restaurant (I know that ranch pizza sounds strange but it got us out of the weather). After the rain stopped we headed out into one wicked head wind. Jeff describe it as a #@*&&%^ head wind but Joe and HP just grinned and pushed on. While tired we reach our nights lodging—a camp ground. Yes, we are sleeping in tents tonight.
As we were leaving Council Bluffs we passed several groups of children heading to school. One little boy got excited at seeing us and started to wave with both arms and yelled to Joe, “hasta la vista, amigo.” We were disappointed that we did not photograph the boy, but some memories are worth a thousand pictures.
We will let you know tomorrow if we survive our night in tents. Joe and HP are sure that they will but Jeff has always preferred to camp in a hotel.

Stay out of those storms. That's where some Boy Scouts got killed last year during a tornado.
ReplyDeleteBesides that, have fun. I'm from Omaha and never heard of those mushrooms but am glad to see some bikers visiting out part of the country!!
