We left Michigan on Monday (official state motto: “if you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you”, our unofficial motto: “when can we leave?”
We drove through a sliver of Indiana, blasted through Illinois, and ended up in Iowa. Yes, Iowa. State motto: “Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain”. We suspect it’s code for “we grow corn. lots of corn.”
We did see some bison at a wild animal refuge, and they sure saw us too.
