Broomfield, CO to Gretna, NE

It's been a little while since the last ride report, however, The Norm and I are now back on the road and continue the adventure.

I left Broomfield around 8:45 this morning. It was sad to say goodbye to my cousins. I love them all very much and it's always such a long time in between visits. Hopefully it won't be next time.  Thank you again Joanna, Steve and Dalton! You really made me feel at home (maybe that's why I stayed so long :)

East Colorado and Nebraska seemed to blend together. Long straight roads w/ a little bit of undulation. All wheat and corn fields out this way. Saw a few feed lots off I-6 in Nebraska. Was quite depressing since on this journey I've seen so many free roaming cattle. So many in fact that I've come very close to hitting a few that were meandering along the road. I understand the necessity of feed lots, I just don't fully agree w/ them. They are also so god-damn ugly and they stink like nothing else I've encountered on my travels. Pretty nasty, pretty nasty indeed.

No pictures today, too busy trying to get to where I'm goin'. Stopped for the night just outside of Lincoln at a KOA (Kampgrounds of America). As I rode past the sign I thought to myself "this could be the last night for camping on this trip!", so I turned around and paid my whopping $17 entrance fee and pitched myself a tent.

Was a beautiful day today. Couldn't have asked for a better temperature this late in September. Little fire and pizza tonight (yes, this KOA serves pizza). Hopefully up early in the morning, trying to make Chicago before nightfall.
