Today started out at 57 degrees and a beautiful sky. And Jerry is ready in his spot for the day.
Soooo... go figure..... more corn and lots of wind.
After about 100 miles we get into Nebraska. Hoping the landscape will change. No luck.
454 miles of corn, some soybean, and very few cows.
BUT......lots of wind.
Our view ALLLLL day.
Many of the fields had these sprinkler and they were running. We could really tell the difference with those that used it and those that did not.
Larry has been watching the weather radar all day. We over cast much of the day so always a change for rain. We got about 15 drop and that was it for the day.
We stopped about an hour out from our final destination of Laramie WY. It was 91,and with in about 25 minutes into the ride it must have dropped 15 degrees. Courtney and I were freezing by the time we hit Laramie. We did not want to stop because we wanted be done for the day and did not want another delay. It was 74 degrees and so windy there were warning of 40 MPH winds on the Artimis signs. Check out Ron's bike.
Cows here are 95% Black Angus. I feel so sorry for all them. It was so hot.
As we get closer to Wyoming there is not so much corn but looks more like dessert.
Yeah finally out of Nebraska. Maybe we will hits some hills.
All along in Nebraska, we had wind from the south (our left), all of a sudden we got very strong wind from the north. What the heck??? Now we will have wipe lash from both sides.
BUT..... we did catch site of the foot hills of the Rookies.
Sitting here typing this, I can hear to wind howling. Cannot wait until tomorrow!!!
Temps are supposed to be 45 in the morning.
Not sure we all brought the right clothes but we can layer.
Total Miles: 682
Temps: 57-100
Route: I80 (all the way across Nebraska)
Destination: Laramie WY
If you have ever been on a houseboat for several
day, then get to dry land, for about a day after your trip you feel like you
are still rocking. As I sit and write this, I am still rocking. :-)
