I did not post  yesterday because it was very long day.  After traveling over 300 miles, my sweet husband pulled into the worst camp site in the world.  If you think Walmart camping is roughing it...then this would be 10 times worse.  After paying $28.88...we went out to the FIELD to search for a site.  Actually site is a generous term.  There were dirt/grass/mud half circles along the road with a post for electricity and water.  There were only two other campers at the campground.  The first site we tried we were unable to stay at because we could  not level.  The second site we were able to level but when Chris tried to hook up the electricity he found bare wires coming out of the box.  Chris went back and got his money and we left.  Thank goodness...I could not believe that we were going to stay there.  Tonight?  Almost as bad but we are paying more for it.  We are in a giant dirt parking lot.  You might ask why we are getting into these terrible sites.  Well, I gave Chris the chance to plan a few nights so he could have ownership in our trip.  WELL, no more.  I will be selecting and researching all campsites.  Tonight's camp is a parking lot of old broken down RV's that have been here forever and beautiful mega buck RV's that, like us, came for the night without looking at the reviews. 
That said, today was a really fun day.  We stopped at the Lewis and Clark exhibit in Sioux City. The exhibit was good and the staff was so friendly.  They were talking to us and when they heard that Chris was a priest they gave him a tee-shirt that was designed by an Episcopal priest who was an American Indian. It was such a great time. 
After the exhibit we had a great lunch at a restaurant overlooking the Missouri River. The days ahead will be so much fun.  Tomorrow we head to the corn palace.  After that the real journey begins and all camping will be in national parks or well reviewed campgrounds.
Peace my friends,  Barbara
