Today the weather played a significant role in our travels once again. The temperature on outdoor business thermometers read in the high 90's throughout the day.

A nice break in our journey came when we spotted a Chinese restaurant. Brandon and I enjoyed the Chinese buffet and a little rest before moving on again.

Toward evening stormy weather forced us to seek shelter. We tried to be responsible and get a room at the Comfort Inn, but they were all filled up and the nearest other hotel was five miles back. Still needing to get out of the bad weather, we went to WalMart. Fortunately the assistant store manager agreed to let us set up our tent on a grassy strip next to the store. Before we could do that, we needed to let most of the storm pass over us. We headed into the WalMart Subway and set up the laptop so that we could watch the movie Lady Killers. After the movie, we ventured back outside to set up the tent.

Brandon and I were a little disappointed with the lack of mileage today (only 30 miles), but we will hopefully make up for it with an early start and nicer weather tomorrow.

Goodnight from the WalMart in Oskaloosa, Iowa.
