Prairies to Plains

My boys checking the fences on the prairie

 September 16, 2022

Crossing the Mississippi didn't bring us into new territory, but it did mark the beginning of our west-facing travels.  We drove through the corn of Iowa.

The cornfields looked like home





We entered the seemingly endless prairie through Western Iowa and South Dakota.  

Farmers bale the hay on the roadsides


The prairie went on and on.  

We saw a blessing in the prairie sky.

 And the prairie continued on, but the ground began to change.

Imagine a wagon bouncing over these hills.

We thought about the pioneers, the heat, dangers, bumpy cramped wagons, the slow, slow miles.  We're so grateful for our little white turtle van.

Not us.
