At least we got the stuff. Nancy might be sewing the patch on my jacket as we drive through Iowa and Nebraska, but at least it'll be there before we hit the salt.
By the way, know how to tell the difference between Iowa and Nebraska? It's easy -- In Nebraska they grow the corn on the north side of the interstate and the sunflowers on the south. By agreement it's just the opposite in Iowa.
Other than that I don't know of any redeeming features along I-80 out there (other than the Iowa 80 Truck Stop -- NOBODY should miss that place!).
