Road trip- day seventeen

We started home today. On our way out of town, we drove through Sheboygan Falls to look at the upper and lower falls on the Sheboygan River. Pretty, but not tall falls like we have in the west. They are more like rally big riffles and short drop-offs. After a quick look at the falls we took the back roads through farm country until we reached the freeway.

Once again we saw lots of planting going on. In the fall there will be lots of corn to harvest. Another thing that the farmers in Wisconsin and Nebraska harvest is the wind.

There were lots of farms with windmills on them. Sometimes you would see a factory or warehouse with its own windmill.


When we stopped for the night in Omaha, we went to the pioneer cemetery by the temple to take pictures of a sculpture. The sculpture is a couple standing over the open grave of their child. Behind them the roots of grief reach up for them.


The sculpture sits over the graves of an unidentified child and several other pioneers.


Wherever there was a marked grave, the paving around the sculpture was placed around it.
