Kum & Go

Kum & Go: somewhere between Boulder and Chicago, Sep30-Oct 2.
We left Boulder in the middle of the night and headed into the East. I am not sure exactly what route we took but we ended up driving over a few states to avoid apparent bad weather, so no stop over in Vegas like we would have liked. We ended up in Salt Lake City like I said, then continued the route and drove through the plains into Iowa and stopped for our 8 hour stop over in De Moins (State Capital). “sigh” I am sure there are interesting things to see but our driver brought us out to some place called Adventure Land, Casino and Race Track… as you can imagine it is not at all what we were interested in seeing. I went off to do some laundry and then took a cab to the other side of the city to a mall pass the time and see a movie.
I ran into the boys all there in the mall trying to kill time. After we all ended up at the movies again, 4 of us saw Hero and the other 2 saw Sky Captain etc.. And back to the bus for the few hour drive to Chicago. Where we are now.
Actually a nice nights sleep and woke to a brisk and sunny day.
The venue seems nice enough, seated? I am sure it will all be fine.
Of course I am sitting in Starbucks, doing my books and writing this. Oh and if you are wondering about the title, it is actually the name of a filling station chain in Iowa.. go figure! Needless to say I was not sad to leave De Moins. I can understand why Bill Bryson left when he did as well.
Wes has just joined me in Starbucks and hooked me up with a wireless connection.. it rocks!
