And another.....

Sad to report that I have had to make a major diversion on my journey.  Was in Madison, WI last night moving to Jackson, MN today.  Unfortunatley, the weather is not being cooperative.  I called an RV park and the guy basically talked me out of going.  Said it was raining, freezing, icy, then snowing.  So going to Mt. Rushmore will have to wait until another trip.  Bummer. That was leading me into Yellowstone National Park - snowing and I don't even think the park is open in most parts yet.  Again, another time. 

Soooooo, here I sit in exciting Altoona, Iowa.  Not as sexy as someplace in Minnesota, but at least it is a bit warmer.  In fact, I have actually been here before.  In 2011, I rode my bike across Iowa for something called RAGBRAI. The real name is 'Registers Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa'. Happens every year and my year it stopped here.  Exciting, right? 

Tomorrow I will be stopping in Grand Island, Nebraska.  My partner's entire extended family is in the Cornhusker state, so will be slowing down to say hello!  Will be fun, as usual, to see them. 

Then I am not certain where I will be next.  But as you can tell, I am inching ever closer to home and to the end of my journey.  Will blog all about that later.

So with that, I will sign off. 

Thanks for reading.......
