Let the games begin! The travel challenges game that is. Off we go. An otherwise uneventful day came to a halt about 25 miles from the Iowa border when someone pulled up beside us and was pointing to the back, so we stopped and found that one of the tow dolly straps to hold the car in position had come off on the hook end, but was still hanging on the ratchet side. So we had to hook it back up. And off again. We had just gone through some rough road and in a construction area with a couple of crossovers that rocked the rig, so maybe that is where it came undone. We stopped for the night at The Worlds Biggest Truckstop "Iowa 80". It seemed like about 1 out of every 4 trucks on the interstate was stopping at this place. LP is not working, gauge says between 1/4 and 1/2, but can't even light the stove burner, so will stop for a LP fill tomorrow. On the first fill up we got 6.22 mpg. We thought we would get about 7, so we were close. Of course that will change when we start running the hills. 364 miles today.
