Rough Plans

30 hours...woah
+ Depart from Madion WI, heading west.
+ Make a stop in Dyersville, Iowa to see the Field of Dreams. Its not very far out of the way. just a little past Dubuque and we would be going through there anyways.
directions to field of dreams




*Getting back on 151s after seeing sights is a must.




+ Continue through Iowa..there is really nothing interesting to see or do there unless we stumble upon something miraculous then a stop might be necessary.

+Hit Nebraska...again not many interesting things to see or do here, unless we stumble upon something. BUT in Lincoln they have a the National Museum of Roller Skating. and how many people can honestly say that they have been there? therefor i think it could have the potential to be fun. Bizzare


At this point we are about 7 hours in to the trip.
directions
* Get back on I-80 W



+ On to Wyoming, since we'll only be going through the southern portion the possiblility of seeing Yellowstone, Devils Tower all of that jazz is more than inconvient. but thankfully we would be able to stop and see Cheyenne's Big Boots! Conveniently located in....Cheyenne WY which we will be passing though they are big 8 foot tall boots...i guess. but why not?


we can just pull off of I-80 and meander around town for a while which i'm sure no one will object to seeing as we will have probably been in the car for a while. then we just have to get back on I-80 to continue.







+ Here we get to Utah. again...not really sure what there is to do seeing as....skiing seems a little unrealistic. But apparently theres a place called Temple Square. it kind of looks like a castle? but there are free tours and free concerts, the acoustics are supposed to be really impressive. some info

directions

again we get back on I-80W and continue.

We're about 19 hours in.








+ Here's where we get to Nevada. Basically we have to go across the whole state..and from what i hear its mostly desert and there probably inst going to be much to do. so we will need to come up with some entertaining car games or something. BUT we will eventually get to Reno. where there will obviously be lots of things to do/see.
