Day 29: Across Nebraska and into Iowa

Leaving North Platte in the morning, we hopped back onto I-80 and continued east.  I could simply post yesterday's photo of the Nebraska countryside: the view was the same, mile after mile.  There was a brief change going through Lincoln...but not much.  After a lunch break at a nice rest area, we traveled on through Omaha, crossing the Missouri River.

And then we were in Iowa---Hurray!   A little prettier, with rolling hills, and yes, plenty of corn.

We stopped in late afternoon at Prairie Rose State Park, between Council Bluffs and Des Moines.  We actually had stayed at this park before, about five years ago, but driving in, neither of us had a clear memory of it.  It is nice, not at all crowded on a Tuesday night in late September, with our site just across the road from a small lake.  The weather is sunny and breezy, and it is oh, so quiet outside after dark, compared with the sound of all those trucks along the highway in North Platte!
