Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska

Well, yesterday we (myself, my parents, my brother) began the long trek from Sparks, Nevada to my sister's place in Winterset, Iowa. Last night we stayed in Coalville, Utah. It's a charming little town where there were exactly two options for places to eat: "Denise's Home Plate" and "Rodriguez Polar King".  "Denise's" was closed, so we went the Polar King place. They served Mexican and American food. It was nothing impressive. But, not bad.

Today, we are staying in North Platte, Nebraska. Nebraska is the second-most-boring state I have ever driven through (the first-most-boring honor goes to the Reno-to-Vegas Nevada drive). We stopped in Laramie, Wyoming for lunch. All I can say about that town is that I'm glad I never even considered the University of Wyoming for college (undergraduate or graduate).

Tomorrow we arrive in Winterset. This will be the first time we've been to Iowa. Will probably be just as enthralling as the rest of the midwest has been thus far.
