Rosie the Rivian

Just 312 miles today. Still, we made it from Davenport, IA to Omaha, NE. One of my people had some work to do today, so we spent some time at “Iowa 80” – the world’s largest truck stop where I charged and became a mobile office. The rest of the family went off to see the trucking museum. I wonder when one of my siblings will be featured there as the first electric pickup truck to market?

Day 2 was just another day on the road. NOT! OK, so we did go over 500 miles today, so it was certainly, another day on the road, but not just any day. The terrain started to change. No longer the foothills or verdant green forests we traversed yesterday. The roads started to straighten out and flatten. But today was a family day. After I took my people to see some of their family in central, IL, I got to go back to my birthplace!

It took my people a while to get ready to go this morning. I was ready first thing, but they kept finding things that they needed to pack up. I was worried that they were going to fill every spot and then some, but I actually had plenty of additional room. I was clean. I got my QuikrStuff rack on and loaded up with bikes and we were off! We ended up not going that far at first though.

Westward Expansion In this section, I document my epic road trip. I took my people across 17 US states and 1 Canadian provence. We had some long days and some rest days. We had great recharges and areas of limited choice.
