West. Day #10

 We drove out of Rapid City heading East. After about 150 miles We headed South to catch the eclipse.  We wanted to get to Nebraska.  About 15 minutes into our trip..rainand dark clouds stayed with us for several hours. We did see this field of sunflowers in SD. You know I love my sunflowers.

Here We are near Valentine, Nebraska at 12:50 pm central time. Eclipse time. It was very cloudy, but during this few minutes it was very very gray and gloomy.  There were very few cars around here. We are actually standing on The highway. The girls were bummed we couldn't see anything!

Of course the skies cleared in a bit. We did see the cute sign posted in a small town on our way.

We traveled from Rapid City, SD to Des Moines, IA. 635 miles...our second longest travel day to date.
