Trains,trains and trains

Highway 30 to Gothenburg parallels the railroad tracks. Trains with 100-200 cars would pass by every 5-10 minutes east or west, I counted one with 114 cars and 7 locomotives in front. If I was not seeing trains, there were plenty of corn fields , 6-7 feet tall, so of course we had sweet corn on the cob with grilled chicken glazed with a&w bbg sauce and boiled red potatoes-no left overs this Saturday night. Camped at a nice koa and doing laundry. Today mileage-88 miles- tommorrow ride 25 into Lexington for church then continue on after for about 50 to make the1000 mark. Gotta get a good rest to get up early so we are not late for church...so...
Move your bod Todd:)
