Out of Nebraska Almost to Des Moines

The figurative me has walked 1,774 miles. I have moved beyond Nebraska and have moved into Iowa. I am just a few miles from Des Moines.

I have a very soft spot for Des Moines. We wandered through its streets on an early Sunday morning in April 1982. It was so beautiful on the empty streets that I also wanted to return. Then I thought about winter, and said forget it.
