Day 38 Omaha, NE to Griswold, IA We are in Iowa now:)

So today was a 5:30 wakeup and we all got out of the church and got up and packed our stuff up and headed out for breakfast and such.

We rode out me, Steven and Beau and had a metric crapton of rolling hills and we were not really happy with them but we pushed through. About 15 miles in we crossed into Iowa and well the terrain really didnt change very much still a lot of rolling hills.  Also about another 10 miles later we had to be racked as there was some unforeseen road construction so we got carted about 8 miles ahead and then continued on our path through the rolling hills.

We arrived to our second rack point which we needed to be racked for the last 2 miles as it was literally a loose gravel road and there was no safe way to ride it.  We arrived at our lodging which is the Creighton University Retreat Center and setup our bedding and showered and such. Then we had our lunch which was provided by Mr. David William Adickes and it was really awesome deli sangwhiches:)

After that we all took like an hour nap and then headed out for a team event which was hanging out in an old rock quarry.  I thought it would be playing with rock or climbing rock or something but apparently it was an old rock quarry that was filled with water and we played in it for a while. They had rope swings and a pontoon and it was a lot of fun

After we were done at the quarry we went to the house of Dr. and Mrs. Adickes and they provided us with sloppy joes and hommade baked beans and it was awesome. Great dinner and then we headed back to lodging and had a small team event ouside and now we are headed to bed

Have a great night


Peace, Love, and Ropes
