Sioux City Sue

 Wednesday we rolled into the western Iowa Loess Hills as the sun was setting and the temperatures reached the 80* mark.  We could see the storm approaching in the west, with clear skies south and pitch black skies to the north. 


In the distance we noticed a controlled prairie burn as a flock of snow geese dropped in on a field to feed.

 The next day along the platte river we had another big bird sighting.  Thousands of sand hill cranes just off the interstate.  50 here,  100 or more over there in a several mile stretch near north platte.














Unable to dodge Wednesday nights storm we pulled off the road and sat out the worst of the storm in a car wash and we were rewarded with this beautiful sun set.




We followed this up with dinner and drinks with our good friends and hosts,  John and Cynthia.  We only wish we could have stayed longer.  But, we had to be on the road early the next morning to head on to Denver!  Thanks for the great night!
