End of Year 2007 Travels -- December 19, 2007 Arrived at Fremont Nebraska Day 1

Tomorrow we start our trip to Las Vegas. After Shirleen's bridge we head for Iowa and hopefully into Nebraska. Take off is around 2:30.

Today: Dec 19

We left North Mankato at 2:40 pm. On the way to Worthington using Hiway 60 we saw nine pheasants, one hawk and two deer along with much flat land covered with white. The navigation system followed along with us, as we didn’t try and proram since our hands on class. The temperature was in the lower thirties all the way down. We stopped in Sioux City for a Burger King treat, Shirleen had a Whopper Jr, onion rings and milk; Jerr had a chicken sandwich.

Off we went, down the two lane dark road of Nebraska, Hiway 77. I wonder how many times I have taken this route, too many. We thought we would get a tank of gas and right next to a station was a Sleep Inn, so instead of going to Columbus we stopped here. Decent price when I call Choice Hotel’s from their lobby. Saved 7$ by doing that.

Think we did about 265 miles. Looking at getting a bit past Denver tomorrow. jerr
