Day 1 - Driving at night

 Left at 4pm, almost right on time.

Only regret is that I was driving past Van Meter, IA very late, and I couldn't check out the city to see everything they have named after Bob Feller (The Heater from Van Meter).

Made it to Council Bluffs , IA at about 1:30. The Best Western in Council Bluffs IA just about exactly what you would expect.

Once I got into Utah the sun was starting to set. Sunset seemed to last an hour b...
