The air was calm and cool and the sun was just starting to glow above the horizon as we all loaded into the truck and headed southwest towards madison for our first leg of the trip. We even ended up leaving about 15 minutes ahead of schedule at 4:45am
Leaving town
We drove straight on through Madison and made it all the way into Iowa before we needed to make our first potty / fuel stop.
We drove on and made a quick lunch pit-stop near Des Moines. We've gotten pretty good about keeping these on-the-road stops short. We ended up at about 25 minutes for our lunch stop, which is great!
Lunch on the road, in a parking lot
It seemed like almost no time and we were crossing the border into Nebraska and our destination for the day was only a few hours away.
Welcome to Nebraska
We are visiting some family that live in Nebraska so we are up for some urban camping this evening, parked near their house. It was great that we could work in a quick visit with them while we are on our way!
Urban Camping
We plan on heading out of here at about 7am tomorrow morning as we make our way to our next stop just outside of Denver, CO
