Today trip from Lincoln to Ames, Iowa consisted of many delays due to road construction and flooding. We spend nearly an hour trying to get thru a one way traffic construction zone. It did provide for some ideal photo ops. There were Hot Rods as far as the eye can see in both directions. After the construction delay we drove to Denison, Iowa. The good people of Denison put together a midday car show sponsored by the local car dealer. They also feed us with tasty BBQ sandwiches. Thanks Denison. Heading on to Ames we had another detour due to flooding. It seem that most of the Midwest is saturated with no end in sight. It must be global warming. I wonder if I can convert the Road runner to a hybred. My co-pilot Al found us some short cuts around the flooding to make it to Ames. In Ames we picked up my brother Mat who took the bus down from Minneapolis to join us on the rest of the tour. The weather held out for the rest of the day. It was very windy, but there was no rain at the show. The facilities in Ames were very nice, and they also had an auto cross coarse setup for those that choose to participate. After eating some tasty pizza, we were enjoying some tasty beers in the parking lot when the temperature suddenly dropped about 20 degrees and it started to ran. Hopefully the hail and tornado's will miss us tonight and tomorrow.
