News Flash-- the leg of I-80 between Iowa City and Denver doesn't really offer much in the way of scenic vistas. Here, T.O.C.E. passes the time by tallying all the state license plates they see. Still missing: AL, DE, GA, HI, KY, LA, MA, MS, NV, NH, NJ, NM, ND, RH, VT, WV, and the District of Columbia.

Behold the find of the day-- Alaska. Best vanity plate was a Virginia tag that said BLKLDY, and the frame around it said "BACK THAT THING UP."

This was about the part of the trip where T.O.C.E. started writing her postcards. Only she had very little to say so far, which explains why H.W.D.N.T.B.N. is getting a postcard detailing the overturned Tyson Chicken truck they saw outside of Omaha.

Also: horses.
Also also: air horses .
