Nebraska

Nebraska has been everything that Iowa was not: flat, windless, and having smooth roads. We love this state! If anyone ever has to bike across Nebraska, they should take Hwy 20, which is one long stretch of (fairly) smooth road that goes through little towns filled with free camping, swimming pools, and amazing museums (see previous post). The only thing they don't seem to have is a place for Freda to get her legs waxed. After nine straight days of biking, we're taking a rest day in Chadron, NE. We were trying to capitalize on a predicted easterly wind that was supposed to last until yesterday. I think it blew at about 3mph on the first day and then turned into a headwind for the next three. At least it's flat here.

Nebraska highlights:

Camping out with Aaron Bullington in Plainsview!

The Klown Doll Museum.

Finding out that my tent doesn't leak! (I just wasn't assembling in correctly...)

They make great pie in every town.

Did we mention it's flat?

We're headed to Wyoming tomorrow. Hoping to be in Casper by Friday to experience not only the Casper State Fair/Rodeo festivities, but also Wyoming Idol! Exciting posts are yet to come.
