AK Adventure Day 96: to Comanche, TX

...another “family” stop today...Comanche, TX....and then only 1 more day to the END of the AK Adventure!!...back to where I started 97 days ago—May 18th!!

AK Adventure Day 90-95: Oklahoma

...destination Oklahoma—for some family down-time (tea party, kites, swimming, movies...FUN!!)

...back on the familiar I-35...through the always cool Flint Hills of Kansas...wind farms...I always LOVE the turnpikes through Kansas and Oklahoma!!

I’ve never seen a safety rest area sign saying wireless internet!!

AK Adventure Day 89: to southwestern Wisconsin

...long drive today to the far southwestern tip of Wisconsin to visit another Waco WHRI farm peep!!...again...the MOST LOVELY midwest scenery!!  I just can’t get enough of the barns...farm houses...beautifully manicured fields!!  I certainly FEEL my midwestern ROOTS deep down in every cell!!

Loved the rural roads through many states...North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin!!

Crossed the Mississippi...drove through some Amish country—saw a horse and buggy but too late to get a photo!!...Certainly weird being back on I-35 for a little bit this day.  Will pick I-35 back up again tomorrow. My reward for this LONG day was a lovely dinner at a microbrewery with my peep!!

A couple of nice things about being back into civilization...safety rest stops...and HUGE truck stops....
I have never seen a safety rest stop sign giving this information before!!  VERY COOL!!  Texas—take a lesson!!

Driving along the Iowa Driftless Scenic Byway (BTW—very interesting what that is all about!!)..I passed a sign for the Seed Savers Exchange Heritage Farm.  OMG!!...REALLY??...I had no idea the farm was in Iowa!!...Of course, I had to go back and pay it a visit!!...and buy some seeds!!
