We continued heading towards our scheduled break in Lawrence, Kansas. Bill went to college in Lawrence at Kansas University and has a sister and several friends who still live there. If things go according to plan we should be there tomorrow.
Not much to report about today's drive. More boring South Dakota landscape then subtle, welcome, changes in terrain and vegetation as we headed south from Sioux Falls, SD to Sioux City, Iowa.
The wind was relentless today. Not a head wind but a cross wind. Made driving a little more stressful and reduced our gas mileage by a third. By the way, the Chevy diesel truck is getting an average of 16 mpg while towing the Airstream. We're pleasantly surprised as we had assumed that it would get 14 to 15 mpg. That may not sound like much of a difference but when you're on a 6,000 mile trip it will result in about $110 in fuel savings.
We spent the night in a KOA campground in Sioux City.
