Crossing the Mississippi on I-80<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mile 11,755 – Fremont, Indiana<\/strong> (in the extreme northeast corner of the state).

It appears in Iowa they don’t seal their gravel roads with something that inhibits dust.\u00a0\u00a0The countryside was filled with dust clouds, sometimes kicked up by a single car.\u00a0 When I pumped gas this morning, I found the outside crevasses of my car filled with a tan-colored dirt.\u00a0 When I tried to wipe it with my finger, my finger became greasy black.\u00a0 It is either Iowa dust or smoke soot from the West.\u00a0 We breathed that stuff?\u00a0 I will forego the chemical analysis.\u00a0 I am tired of the smoke and dust.\u00a0 I am glad to be back in the lush vegetation and relatively clear air of the East.\u00a0 Who would have thought that?<\/p>\n
