DAY 4
Gas price was $2.74. Mileage was 1238. As we left Iowa, we recorded our thoughts on it. We all thought it was a beautiful state. Lots of corn, pretty hills, lots of terracing, very clean, very green.
Animal behavior was getting stranger. Our cat, Bunny, was now able to occasionally venture outside her cage. When Bunny went out, she would sunbathe on top of the cage, enjoying a nice snack of tissues a la carte. However, she spent most of her time secure in her kennel's litterbox, where

Caa - Veg
-Veg- will win a free art request and a member shrine in his honor. Everyone else who entered will win an art request, as there weren't enough votes for 2nd and 3rd places.

I was happy when we left that sleazy little hole. When we left at a mileage of 2,112, I was glad to discover that Rawlins was much more beautiful in the daytime, while still horrific.
