Somewhere in Rural Iowa

Chuck, Dave, Steve and I are currently on our annual Martin Luther King Day Jr Weekend caching trip. This year (the third year in a row) we’ve headed down through Des Moines and over to Omaha, NE for some fairly rigorous caching through sub-zero temps.

While temperatures at home were bottoming out in the -25F range, they were far more balmy here in IA and NE with the lows at -5F and highs just under +10F ;)

We have two more full days of caching and driving to do and we’ve already revisited a favorite of Dave and mine from 2005, Austin’s Steaks and Saloon where three of us enjoyed some amazing Omaha steak.

We’re hoping the predicted snow holds off and that the temps rise just a bit. I’m pretty tired of having to defrost my eyelashes to get my eyes to open and having to dry and warm up my socks under the floor heater in the truck between caches :)

See all the pictures from the trip so far here (camera).
