Well folks, there is not much to tell today. This was another transit day. We left our hotel and drove by the place where we lived in 1968. It looks about 39 years older (it was fairly new back then), but was immediately recognizable as were other landmarks from the neighborhood.
We then set our course to Omaha. This was just over 500 miles and the trip went well. We switched off frequently on driving duties. We drove toward an afternoon prairie storm, but did not catch up with it until just as we arrived at our hotel (of course). The hotel is brand new -- just opened the first of June.
Nebraska is (in)famous for being flat and boring to drive through. I would contend that it does not come anywhere close to the long stretches of nothingness that we drove through in Wyoming. At least in Nebraska, there are changing fields, cattle ranches, feed lots, trees and farmsteads.
Here we are in a new month and two days into our fourth week on the road. We are planning to travel from Muscatine, IA to home via I-74 and I-70 with a couple of stops to explore places we have not been able to spend time at in the past. It has also been a number of years since we followed this somewhat longer route between Iowa and home. For tomorrow it's on to Des Moines.
No pictures today!
