Day 1 Des Moines, IA to Mitchell, SD

Day 1 is completed.  It's 11 PM and Mom and Dad are in bed and I am trying to get today's travels documented.  We left Ankeny, IA this morning about 9:15 AM and arrived in Mitchell, SD about 4:30 PM.  We went up to Ames and then went West on Highway 30 and then Highway 141 to Highway 29.  We stopped in the town of Salix at 1 PM and made us some lunch in the camper and ate it.

We had a great tailwind from the SE all the way.  Winds were 20 mph, gusting to 44 mph.  We drove 337 miles in 7 hours and 15 min.  It took 31.4 gallons to fill up and we paid $3.679 per gallon.  That figures out to 10.7 mpg.  Not to bad, but remember, we had a huge tailwind.
On to Devils Tower tomorrow.
