Start: Lincoln, NE
End: Sidney, NE
Miles: 346
We thought we were going to be able to get out early, however, we've been very messed up on time since changing time zones. At 7 this morning, it was still very dark outside, so we slept in a little longer than originally intended. We ate at the lounge, where Balian promptly threw up all of his breakfast, which sent us scrambling back to the room for a quick shower. After that fiasco, we jumped on to I80 for all 346 miles, stopping in a small town to eat lunch at a Chinese buffet. John and I switched driving at this point, and he drove for the last two hours to our final destination (for the day) in Sidney, Nebraska. After bringing clothes and the dog inside, we went out the original Cabela's store, which, after visiting the original Bass Pro in Springfield, left much to be desired. They did have some pretty impressive taxidermied animals, including a polar bear and a moose! Moose are much bigger than I had ever imagined, and I don't think I would ever want to see one in person. Maybe from a distance, but definitely not up close. Afterwards, we went to walmart to pick up some dinner, then back to the hotel room to chill for the rest of the evening. We are now two hours behind everyone in the east coast, with one more time zone to cross before reaching Washington. Tomorrow we're hoping to cross most of Wyoming, and maybe enter into Utah. Until tomorrow, then!

ReplyDeleteAre you going through Salt Lake City? We have cousin Jeff there. He's on Pop's side, he met John when he was a baby. Jeff works at the Hogle Zoo with the reptiles. If you want to visit, let me know and I will give him a call.
