The Great Land of Nothingness

Everything's bigger in the midwest. The meals, the cornfields, and especially the hospitality. We arrived in Davenport last night to the home of Cory Yetter, Will's cousin. Davenport is a sleepy little city in eastern Iowa where on a wednesday night, nothing much is going on but he showed us a great time! We stuck around his place with a few other relatives of Will's and had some great food before heading out to Del's a little dive bar where interesting locals were the main attraction. This morning, after a slow start, we hit the Iowa Machine Shed, the perfect little Iowa restaurant. Unfortunately we missed breakfast, but the lunch specials were unbelievable, our waitress was phenomenal, and we left wondering, is this heaven? But the road called and we continued west towards Omaha, where I am now. Tomorrow should be a long day, with 8 hours driving to Denver, but I'm really excited to get there and get on the hill. So I'm going to head off to dinner but I'll try to post again from Copper tomorrow night. Farewell from a couple of simple guys chasing the sun.

SNOW AT SUGARLOAF!!!!!
