Whoever owns the farm with the red roofs don't have very far to go to deliver thier grain products...just across the street.

Not Sure?

I think this is still in Iowa, but it might be South Dakota. I have no idea why I took this one? That's why I don't like to wait for months to upload things...I forget.

This is the last farm I saw, or took a pic of at least, in Iowa. Headed into South Dakota now.

At least I am straight and level headed as I tool on down Iowa Hwy 10 consulting my GPS system.

It's not high tech, but it works just fine. My wife had an electronic one that kept yacking and I found it very annoying. I was happy she forgot the plug and it finally went dead because I was thinking of throwing it out the window. That was, of course on another trip not this one. These paper GPS systems can't be tracked by satelittes either, so big brother/sister can't keep tabs on you. Too bad they can with the cell phone though.

It's interesting to see and you can go inside, but I'm too tired and still a very long drive home from here...about 6 more hours away.

Sun & Dutch Windmill

I cloned out the red ring I always get when facing the sun, using picnic. The clone tool really sucks big time too! You don't get a fixed point to move the brush independently from which makes it super difficult to use. I doubt I'll renew my picnic subscription next year when it expires.

Ah...it was my friend calling to find out why I had disappeared for almost a week, and threatening to kick my ass! Nice to know someone cares. Anyway, back to taking pics now and they sure fly a lot of flags in Orange City.
