Day 19 - 10 hours in the car!

Today was a long drive from Casper, WY to Grand Island AKA In the middle of nowhere, Nebraska. We are surrounded by corn fields and cows, but that's better than last night's interstate and junk yard dogs barking all night!

When we arrived to this KOA we unfortunately scared a bunch of toads and their mamma away. Hopefully they all are back together tonight.

Besides being a very boring drive, there were no major hiccups and really nothing to note about. We are now an hour behind Indiana time and will be rising early again for another 9+ hour drive to Rock Island, Iowa. It's weird to see trees with leaves again after weeks of just mountains, hills, fir trees, barren cattle ranches, sage brush, and dead grass. It was sad to drive over completely dried up creeks and streams. This drought is worse than I ever imagined.

Makes me wonder what my yard looks like. Not that it matters to me it's just grass, but to people who make their living farming, my heart just aches for them. I know it will hurt my wallet eventually.

My big decision now is do I purchase a digital picture frame to show people the pictures or have a picture book done. I'm sure I have, after editing, over 1000 pictures. If you think a book would be better, what site would you use. I'm a member of Shutterfly, but I've never ordered anything from them. Any suggestions would be good, thanks!
