Atlantic, IA
I am happy to say that Steve and I made it safely to our
destination in Iowa. We got up this morning around 4, ate quickly, packed last
minute things and loaded the horses. They had never been in our new trailer so
we were wondering how they would do, and they all did great, and hopped right
in. We were on the road by 5am, as planned. That is quite the feat for us; we
tend to run a bit late at times. I got to drive the first shift, on our way
towards Chicago. This is our maiden voyage with our new trailer, so we were
curious to see what gas mileage would turn out like and how it would do in
general. Both the truck and trailer were great, and we got better mileage than
we expected. It was quite a quick drive really; it took us about 11 hours with
stops. We got to see the Mississippi river, and lots of Iowa corn fields. We
found our horsey hotel, got our horses settled. They got to play in the arena
first, rolling and running around bucking, making dust. They got some molasses
water and hay, and are now happy as horses. Steve and I got to then get the
trailer up and running…turns out it is pretty easy. Now time to relax and cook
dinner!
