22/05: Heading East Again

After a wonderful breakfast with Herb and Rosetta we were on the road again.
In Ed's quest for finding geocaches in all the US states we toured around the Burr Oak area on our own.
You can tell where the rivers are by the number of trees.
We had seen lots of cows but this was the first flock of goats we saw.
The GPS took us down some interesting roads.
I'm guessing that there's been accidents at this corner.
After Ed found a few geocaches, it was back to Nebraska and I80. After a few hours we found ourselves in Iowa. Both states are flat with lots of farms.
Ed was facinated by the walking irragators.
I think this was the longest irragator we saw.
We stopped for the night in Coralville, Iowa. The town is in the middle of the US with the only water in sight being a river, yet the town is named for Coral reefs. Turns out coral formations were found in the limestone rocks in 1866. It was shortly after the coral discovery that the town was named.
There is a nice walk near the old power dam in Coralville.
