We headed out about 8 am this morning. We are not wasting anytime. Well not much anyway. The co-pilot thought he didn't need the iowa map to get us across the Missouri River at Plattsmouth so we ended up south at Nebraska City which was only a bit south of Lincoln - our intended destination.
We drove straight on until noon when we had a pit stop and a picnic lunch at an I80 rest area. We didn't stop again until about 2 pm when we got gas. A small bite of chocolate and we are again putting medal to the pedal. Our intent now is to take a short detour off the interstate and through the Sand Hills. We aim to get as far as Cheyenne, Wy yet today.
And we made it! We stopped about 5 CDT for supper at Dennys. Dennys was our 3rd try using the GPS for guidance. The food was good and the caffeine revived us enough to drive another 2 and a half hours to Cheyenne. Now PaPa is sleeping and i am unwinding. We are looking forward to Day 2!
