    day 3 - i swear i took a picture of my camp outside of sioux falls, but i guess it didn’t develop. anywho, this is the apparently world famous corn palace in mitchell, sd. the lady at aaa told me about it so i figured i’d stop and take a picture. i got here before it opened, although i wouldn’t have gone inside even if it were.

    who would’ve thunk it - a waterfall in sioux falls, south dakota! i was planning on eating dinner at a brewpub just up the road from here, but it was closed for remodeling. :( fortunately, perkins saved the day and i had some uber pancakes instead.

    the missouri river as seen from a city park in omaha. i wasn’t actually supposed to go to nebraska, but i was on i-26 for a good chunk of the afternoon, which is just a few miles east of the state, so i hopped into omaha for lunch on the river.

    more university of iowa. this is the old capitol. apparently iowa city used to be the state capital before des moines stole its glory.

    day 2 - i stopped at the university of iowa (ironically, the 2nd of 3 “u of i”s i would be stopping at) to eat breakfast, seeing as i-80 goes right through iowa city. this shot is of this crazy cool steeple in their med school area. i tried to get a closer look at the building, but as far as i could tell, it was completely surrounded by other buildings! i think i wasted a good hour walking in circles around this area.

    another angle of my first camp. i built that fire without a match, with nothing but the glowing embers that the previous occupant had foolishly not put out. /flex

    my very first camp. hunt’s cedar river campground. it was kinda lame, since it was maybe 100 yds off of i-80. but at least there was a river. you can kinda see it in the background.

    the mississippi river, as seen from davenport, iowa. that riverboat thing to the right is a casino.
