We have driven west on I-80 many times before. We stopped at West Des Moines, IA. On the way we visited the grave of Linda’s Third Great Grandmother, Lucinda Starkweather Kent. She is buried in Avon Cemetery just east of Des Moines.
I-80 in Iowa
Lucinda was the daughter of Linda’s Revolutionary War Veteran. She died in 1866 and was 82 years old.
We had a wonderful meal tonight. We went to a local Ecuadorian Restaurant, Mi Patria. We are heading to Kansas tomorrow. More flat countryside, beautiful in its own way.
