Day 7: Lagrange

Total Miles: 1620
Total States: 5


We were slightly more productive today in my second day in Lagrange. I think I only played a few hours of Xbox, and in the afternoon I helped Cam build up a computer. Of course (like almost any real project) it didn't go as smoothly as would be hoped. The problem actually boiled down to a DOA hard drive, which is relatively uncommon. Anyhow, we got it up and running with another hard drive and all was well.

That evening, we went to dinner in Scots bluff, Nebraska. It turns out that was only about 45 minutes away. We drove all that way for "fast food", but it was good fast food. The venue was Culvers, which I had never been to before. Turns out its a midwest (Wisconsin) chain that specializes in cheese stuff (go figure!) and butterburgers. Despite how unhealthy the term "butterburger" sounds, its actually just a normal burger where the buns are grilled with butter. They also had some really good strawberry lemonade that was SO creamy it should have been classified as a smoothie.

After that, we stopped by home depot on the way back, and I went to bed relatively early to prepare for a long day of driving the next day. In all, its was a really good time of relaxing. There's nothing like being in Lagrange to force relaxation, and it was good.
