June 3rd

My stay at the Motel 8 was fine, as it is rated a 3.5 on Google. I have a 3 hour and 12 minute drive to Fort Hartsuff and I am ecstatic. I finished my oatmeal and packed up again to get on the road by 7. Three hours later I am at the fort. The price to park at the location is $2 and one may have a pass to visit the forts in Nebraska, which I have obtained. I spent about two hours at the fort educating myself on historical events. I left the fort building and found a field to rest and have, again, salad and sweet potato. Afterwards it was around 1 in the afternoon, its time to start heading to my next destination. I am taking the five hour drive over to De Moines Iowa to stay at a Motel 6. The travel today is 491 miles. I have 104 miles left in my tank after the trip, I will fill up again when I start going on my way to Fort Madison.
