Vlog....In Progress

Don't worry (I totally knew you were), the vlog is coming, it's just nigh on ten minutes long so its taking forever to upload especially since it's in HD 5.1 Surround Sound:) I may be able to get it up by the end of the day because I might have to resume the upload later... And also in case you were wondering its got plenty about Day 5 in there.

And I Thought We Were in the Middle of Nowhere Yesterday…..(Day 4)

Today was probably the day we saw the most sites of this trip so far.  We started with the Kanesville tabernacle in the morning and then started to head east.  We went through Iowa which was kind of like Nebraska only with trees and a whole heck of a lot more windmills.  We didn’t go all the way to Des Moines before we turned off the freeway and headed south.  That’s where the adventures of going down hundreds of small highways, hoping that we were going in the right direction.  We eventually ended up in Lineville.  We stopped to eat there at the Old Home Café which had great food, but was obviously the big hang out for old hick farmers and their cigarettes.  That was the only restaurant that I’ve ever been in that has allowed smoking and now I see why companies do not allow smoking in restaurants because it was unbearable.  After lunch or “lupper” (we didn’t get there until 3 in the afternoon) we stopped by Grandma Mosterts Cemetery.  We then headed back into the car for another hour or so of driving aimlessly trying to get to Spring Hill and from there Adam-Ondi-Ahman.  We picked up a map at the Kanesville Tabernacle and we used it to find the town.  We all loved the map because on it instead of Adam-Ondi-Ahman it said “Mormon Sanctuary”.  While that is not exactly how I would explain it, it was very nice and peaceful and I was able to film a lot of the vlog in it for tomorrow.  After that we went on to Far West and from there to Liberty Jail where we had a missionary from Virginia give us a tour.  She was an funny person to listen to because she had a deep southern drawl and had problems pronouncing Wilford Woodruff, but it was a great tour. 

   I’m not sure if I’ll even be able to post the vlog tomorrow though with the luck I’m getting with internet in hotels so far.  It’s even worse internet in this place than it was in the other, I talked to the lobbyist about it and apparently a lot of the bandwidth for the network within our range is already being used so I’m going to have to post all of this in the lobby instead of in the room.  So I’m going to get to that since it’s already 10:30.

P.S.  Was kind of requested (Not really) to post the thing that gave us a slight delay in our trip: my ruptured cist.  It’s pretty cool now because I have this giant hole in my neck which kind of makes a smiley face with my two freckles, anyway…

Answer

Forgot about yesterdays question. Well, the answer was A. Yes, everytime you get out of your car you're supposed to get your bag of sand and pour it around the car so that you make sure no "suspicious" footprints are around your car, because you know, no one ever walks by your car in a parking lot. Anyway that really bothered us last night, we just couldn't wrap our minds around that question. And now I'm going to turn in because it's 11 here in glorious Nebraska.

Nebraska-At the end of your rainbow(Day 3)

Today was a longggg day. We went all the way across Nebraska today and it was a boring, barren wasteland. The only attraction that we could see on the way was a pony express station where they had a time capsule that they were going to open on July 13 2010 so we were a little to early for that. Our second stop was a Subway and there I learned that Subway has NO wifi! That's why this is coming out late, we had to wait until we got to the hotel to update it. Which by the way the Internet at this Days Inn stinks, all three of their routers wouldn't connect to the laptop, but luckily I got one on my iPod so this is where it's coming from.
So Nebraska has not impressed me in the slightest today. They fill their state with filthy deception at every turn that tries to make Nebraska look like a great place to live. For example the title of this post " Nebraska the end of your rainbow" came directly from a postcard we got in a gas station, but the worst part is that on the front in has a comely farm house with a rainbow over it and some trees next to it. Seriously? We drove all across Nebraska today and I saw about two trees, EXCEPT for in Omaha which somehow ended up looking like New England. I'm sure that whenever Nebraska makes a film about their state it's made in Omaha because it's the ONLY place that is slightly presentable. But tomorrow we're going down to kanas city and then we'll be out of Nebraska! Honestly though Nebraska was an interesting state to drive through because you could pretty much see out 200 miles in every direction. I would avoid living here, but hey I may just end up retiring here because after all, Nebraska is the end of my Rainbow
