We made a strategic stop in Kearney, Nebraska to hit up the flagship Cabela’s store. I was able to get a sleeping bag and some other hiking necessities for an extraordinary deal. We also picked up some postcards from Nebraska at a gas station – the essence of Nebraska is captured by a picture of a sprawling field dotted with hay bails. Caleb said it perfectly while writing postcards – if you want to know what it’s like to drive through Nebraska tape this postcard to your windshield and sit in the car for 8 hours. Not even so much as a curve in the road. Trying out my new bag...
Two of my most favorite things that I keep seeing as we’ve been driving through the plains of the Midwest are pig trucks with their little heads, butts, and bellies sticking out the panels and the giant FOOD signs that tower high in the air. Very informative. The open road and bug cemetary on our windsheild...
Finally after hours of driving in a straight line the mountains made their entrance. At first as little peaks in the distance and then slowly growing into a wall before us. The sun was just beginning to make its descent so the mountains were silhouetted against a sky of orange, yellow, and blue as we approached Denver and left the cornfields behind.
