So from my house to the campsite where I’ll be staying is roughly 1300 miles. I’ll break that up into one long day and one short day. Today is the long day. So far I’ve made it Iowa, I’ll be in Iowa for a while. Here are some photos of the trip so far.
Cash is ready to go:![]()
Leaving Ohio
Leaving Indiana / Entering Illinois
The Might Mississippi, Entering Iowa
Iowa 80 Truck Stop, The largest truck stop in the world, or so they say. It is huge, like a shopping mall pretty much.

Cash has taken to sitting in the front seat to keep me company now
Traffic has been almost non-existent for most of Iowa.![]()
