Nebraska and Iowa

Whilst researching Nebraska, I came across this article - an elderly couple were stopped in Nebraska with 60 pounds of weed they were delivering as Christmas presents to family. Their poor family are going to be devastated this Christmas with no stocking fillers!

We're planning to camp at Victoria Springs State Park whilst in Nebraska. It is supposed to be a very relaxing and peaceful park to visit, a reminder of the days when spas and mineral springs were visited by those looking to improve their health and well-being.

Iowa, a Midwestern U.S. state, sits between the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. It’s known for its landscape of rolling plains and cornfields. We're only going to be able to see a small corner of this state as we pass through Sioux City. Whilst in Sioux City, there are a couple of sights we're aiming to see which includes the United Airlines Flight 232 crash memorial.
