What a day! We had a long lie-in before being tied up in a detour just outside the hotel but we negotiated this and escaped the town. Iowa is one giant field with wavy hills and today’s adventure was light and fun.
An hour or so into today we stopped at a giant flee market in a town called What Cheer. Considering the surrounding towns are small, this is on an industrial scale. We stretched our legs and explored for an hour or so and still didnt manage to touch the edges.
The car gave bleeped a 10k mile check oil warning message, so Matt has dropped the rental an email to enquire as to action as we have other six weeks on the road.
We crossed Fox River leaving Eldon where we visited the American Gothic Home and museum. Such a treat. We watched a “reel” of the artist.
Now tucked up in Bloomfield and tomorrow we are back in a state we have visited previously as we cross over to see the southern states then head up the east coast.
