The last of the buttes/hills

Western Nebraska



Cheyenne, WY, to North Platt, NE: Rainy and cold this morning. It was 46 when we left. Stopped at a Flying J about 2 miles from the campground for breakfast and then hit the road. I drove first and it was raining steadily and every time a truck passed us it sprayed up so much water that it was hard to see. It finally let up and by the time Mike took over it was dry and sunny. Western Nebraska was kind of pretty but after that it was flat farmland for the most part. We’re staying at the Holiday RV Park which is a really nice commercial campground. We’re now only at 2800 feet. It’s 80 here. That’s better. Only here for one night and then we head to Omaha.
