Vacation - May 17 2023

  Wednesday morning we started for Nebraska and it would turn out to be a stormy day. At one point the sky opened up and our view out the windshield looked as though a sheet of white paper had covered it. That's no way to travel - and it didn't last long - but we were lucky there were so few on the road.








 What an angry sky! I fired up my "Weather & Radar" app and saw that many of the storms were dropping sizeable hail. We stayed out from under those, but only by chance.

 Nebraska (like South Dakota) seems to have no end. We spent the entire day crossing it. Much of it is wide and open, too, and we knew we had to be careful and have plenty of gas in the tank for the hours ahead.

 The day ended in Laramie, WY. We stopped at the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Monument to rest our legs.


 We stayed that night at the Laramie Valley Inn.


 And we walked about town a bit (which was undergoing heavy road construction) and had our supper at Subway. Clearly this is a college town.
