Sunday 8/5/05

Highlight of today (you don't get many being on the same road for what seems like an eternity) was going into a gas station for lunch (actually a quick snack, we ate a big breakfast) and meeting this lovely lady called Marsha Mehl who invited us back to her place for a big mothers day lunch, which would have been awesome had we not have ate alot and had we not had to contend with gradually increasing wind speeds all day. We politely declined her offer but had a big chat with her and she left. we thought that was that but oh no, American hospitality knows no bounds. We went to pay for our food and the clerk told us not to worry about paying the lady had just put it on her tab, absolutely amazing!
Carried back on to Tribune our stop for the night. Found the sheriff and sat in the interveiw room next door to the occupied cell block while he sorted out the prisoner and fetched the key to the restrooms in the park we were staying at. Camped the night there. Had some extra time because we crossed a time zone so sat around playing poker for hours. I think we narrowly escape a severe storm because not long after we camped the wind started gusting about 30 or 40. We heard a mother call her children in because a tornado had been sighted. Luckily we didn't see it. I say luckily, but I think it would have been quite something to see.
