Corn, corn, corn

We started out yesterday from Gothenburg, Nebraska and ended up in Waukee, Iowa. Besides asphalt there is one constant on the journey, corn. In Nebraska you see flat fields of corn that go on forever and are irrigated by huge sprinklers. When you get into Iowa you see rolling fields of corn and the huge sprinklers are gone. It is corn the whole way across two states.

Behind the kids in the picture below is of a huge corn processing facility in Gothenburg. It processes the corn for all the Fritos made west of the Mississippi. You see smaller (yet still huge) versions of this processing plant about every five miles in Nebraska, the skyscrapers of the midwest. They take the corn that is already off the cob and dry and load it into train cars.





Getting tired of hotels we decided to try a cabin. We found a great one a couple miles off of Route 80 in Waukee. There have a bunch of stuff to do and it's about half the price of a hotel. We will be definitely hitting these up in the future if we can.
