Tonight, Fort Dodge, IA

We left Lusk, WY at about 9:30 this a.m., and headed east on US 20. What a great highway! Straight and well - maintained, it has the advantage of I-80, viz, speed,  but virtually no traffic, and the opportunity to see towns and stop now and then. We followed all day across Nebraska and well into Iowa. Tonight we are at the Budget Host Inn in Fort Dodge. It's budget priced but the room is actually quite nice.

Early in the day, still in Wyoming, we went through the town of "Node." It consisted of one house. That was it. Not another building. This inspired some doggerel:

Ode to Node:

All hail to thee, O Node!

All praise to thee is owed!

Midst bleak desolation,

In stark isolation,

You consist of but one abode. 

Or 

There once was a village called Node,

Which consisted of but one abode. 

Want something to do?

It's all up to you! 

Unless something comes down the road.
