So after our nice break in Aberdeen it was time to hit the road and I found it a bit more difficult to try to leave home and for the first time understood what Kelly was talking about when we left Woodbury, but before we got on the road we had to tie up a couple loose ends. We packed our stuff and got everything ready to go and then we had my mom take our pictures for our individual pictures and we picked out a good picture of us together and added them to the envelope. Then we went outside and after about 8 or 9 takes we had our video complete. Finally we had finished our application for the Amazing Race, now we can just cross our fingers! Well with that all finished we said our good byes and hit the road. My mom and grandma were waiting at the end of my Grandma's driveway to wave us good bye one last time. The trip to Redfield didn't take too long and went with out much of a hitch. We had to ride on a bit of gravel because old hwy 281 all of a sudden was no longer paved. When we finally got to Redfield we stopped in at Terry's Steak House, where my Grandpa set up a tab for us since they were out of town and we would be staying at them place. The people at Terry's were super nice and we hung out there for a little bit and then headed to my grandparents place. When we got there we unloaded our gear and started to watch tv and quickly fell asleep for a couple of hours. When we woke up we orderd pizza and enjoyed our dinner watching the beautiful sunset over the Redfield Lake.
When we got up we had a little more hustle in our step since we knew we had a long ride to Plankinton. Once we left Redfield we headed towards Wolsey and the last sign of Civilization until we got to Plankington. We stopped to eat in Wolsey at the truck stop and rested up. The rest of the afternoon was spent peddling and talking to cows. The ride was so boring and decolate it was almost unbarable. When we got to Plankington we stopped in at DJ Drive-In. It was a nice little place and the food was good. We had corndogs and a shake. After dinner we made our way to the campgrounds, which we found out was owend by the same people, what a coinsidence since the town was so huge, haha. But it was really nice they had a pool, which we took advantage of and very nice facilities. It was a long day but over-all it wasn't too bad.
