12. Day 3

Sidney, NE to Davenport, IA - 670 miles

The Cabela's campground last night worked out great, the main sites were full but I was able to squeeze into a tent site. Clean bathroom and a hot shower, awesome. Cooking breakfast outside in 37 degrees though, should have thought that one through a little better!

Nebraska and Iowa were surprisingly interesting, even though mostly flat there were a lot of trees and random towns to see. Just after passing through Omaha and crossing the Missouri River i stopped in Council Bluffs for a quick bike ride. Nice little town that is very new.

Had some heavy rain through Des Moines which I wasn't expecting, but after strong winds all day it felt like just part of the passage.

Made it to the Iowa 80, the largest truck stop in the world. Cool to see but very loud and hardly anyone wearing a mask so it didn't feel right to stay given how far I've gone to avoid exposure to people who aren't taking covid seriously. Trying out a Casino a few exits up.
