Onward to Nebraska

Just a few miles outside of Wray we hit Nebraska, but only after a great breakfast by the Wray Boy Scouts. By looking at the Nebraska sign at right I am guessing that folks from Colorado are not too keen of the folks from Nebraska based on the multitude of bullet holes in their sign. A few more miles down the road we took a half mile detour into Kansas just to say we had been there. Then it was on to McCook, NE. For lunch we were met along the road by Brett's (a teammate) parents. The Buchanons brought us salmon, BBQ chicken sandwiches, Gatorade and some delicious salads. It was such a great lunch! Finally the wind died down for today's ride but it was replaced by a hot sun instead. At left you can see that we passed through the town of Trenton, Nebraska. Trent, I thought you might like to see this picture even though I told you about it last night! In McCook we stayed in a cool little motel called The Chief. Once again, the Buchanons sponsored the motel and we all got our own beds! Winston, Ankit, and I decaled the new van we picked up to replace the one that got rear-ended in Park City after we enjoyed a lasagna and root beer float dinner at the United Methodist Church. After the decaling the three of us made Walmart run and grabbed some ice cream before settling in for the night. As I said before, it may seem that these days are pretty uneventful but that is simply because we are putting in OVER 90 miles per day for 4 days straight in efforts to get to the larger cities with more programming opportunities.
