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…
