If it is Sunday, this must be Iowa!

We feel like those folks in the 1969 movie ("If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium") as we are traveling across so many states in so few days... Sunday we finished crossing Nebraska and arrived in Iowa.

First - a picture from Saturday evening that Celesta took of us in Kearney, NE -- with Miss Kitty on the couch next to "her Carl".

Many of the fields in Iowa are terraced -- usually with crops and then grass on the terracing strips -- this one may have crops and grass but it isn't quite clear. It was hard to get a good picture as we had rain for much of the day on Sunday.

Sunday night we stayed at the Iowa Aviation Heritage Museum (https://iowaaviationheritagemuseum.webs.com/) -- another Harvest Host site!

We did not have time to visit all of the museum -- but one of the volunteers was telling us that these planes suspended from the ceiling are remote control planes that would be used in airshows and would re-enact fights between Japanese and American fighters. I didn't know that RC planes could be this big! The largest one probably had a wingspan of 20-24'!

We met up with Carl's cousin Jenice and her husband Gary for supper. It was so nice to talk and share with them, hearing what is going on with them and sharing our story.

When we got to the airfield on Sunday afternoon, we could see that there were cars racing on the runways. We asked, and one runway was closed for this event by the Corvette Club of Iowa (https://www.corvetteclubofiowa.com/). I pulled up information on their calendar:

It indicates "7 events per day" - I'm not certain what the different events are. We saw them going one at a time through a slalom-type course identified by traffic cones and then around a U-Turn and down the runway as a straight-away. A new car would start as the one before it rounded the U-Turn.

Our plan is to get to Illinois on Monday, get parked, and get to work on getting Carl's Mom moved and settled.
