Left out of the motel by 7:30. Already north of rush hour in Des Moines. :)

1st stop was the Pilot in Clear Lake for fuel, 2nd stop to pick up the car at Forest City. Then I did a stop at the Albert Lea Loves to pick up a new discount card. The card readers will no longer read mine so I have not been getting my points.

Once we returned the car to Avis in Burnsville, we ate at the Honey Baked Ham again. Then home.

IA is back up to 124, CA buses shows as over 100 but that has to be wrong and he is not answering his phone to ask. Off the road now, hopefully will hear tomorrow/Friday about working next week. If not, we might do a short IA or WI run just because of how far behind they are.

When we went through Forest City there were still 200+ units lined up in the employee parking lot plus other places. Did not see any on the freeway. Did see a city bus, a cement mixer and a couple of garbage trucks. Not much.
