May 11th- Driving to Omaha, Nebraska

Our drive today was about 596 miles. After Keystone is the city of Rapid City. We tried to find the chapel so we could go to church, but we couldn't find it. The drive through did make us familiar with the little town. We saw this zoo on our drive and thought it was a funny statue. Then the goats started moving, it was real! We had to turn around to take a picture of the "goat bridge." 
As we were driving through South Dakota, and the middle of no where, Ja decided he wanted to see ho many miles we could go on one tank. It wasn't to our destination because our gas light came on. Of course it went one right after 
we passed the only gas station for a long time. He is a very lucky man because right when I was going to get really mad if we ran out of gas, an exit for Sinclair gas station came. Unfortunately the gas station was 3.8 miles from the freeway so we "saw more of the country." That became a often used phrase when we got lost. We didn't say we were lost, we were seeing more of the country.

The part of the state of Iowa we saw was your stereotypical mid
-west state. Flat and grassy. A lot of farms too. So far in our trip I have been amazed by the number of farmers and huge farms.
 While driving through the farms of Iowa we asked ourselves a few questions. Feel free to answer them if you know the answer.1. Are only the black and white cows milk cows? Or are the brown cows used for milk too?
2. Are the black and white cow named Jersey cows?
3. Why is super unleaded gas cheaper than unleaded? 
4. What makes the super gas super?
5. Why does Highway 90 have a red tint to it?

As we crossed over the Missouri River we entered Nebraska. Luckily we had 2 chances to enter Nebraska because I missed taking the picture of the sign the first time.   

This is just a picture to show how dirty our windshield was at this point.

I love the windshield picture! Have you seen the Bee Movie? It gives you a new perspective on all that yucky stuff on the windshield.
