It was a bright clear cool morning on our last leg of the journey. We have generally gone through Fremont Nebraska to Sioux Cit and angling (not fishing) on highway (hwy) 60 through Iowa and Minnesota. This time we followed the cars directions. From Salina Kansas straight north on hwy 81 to interstate 80 into and around Omaha on 680, onto I 29, through Sioux City and back on hwy’s 75/60 to home. I have not checked out the miles difference but easy riding.
Lunch was needed as we were headed into Omaha, a Cracker Barrel was chosen. Again, Shirleen had a pulled pork sandwich on rye and I my normal at the Barrel, fried catfish with macaroni cheese. The hwy through town has been drastically changed; we passed along Omaha’s Westroad’s Von Maur store in the mall on this route. For us it was a flash back to when we stayed across the street and shopped at that store. Nice clothing.
Along the way we passed the Fred Thompson campaign bus, it needed a wash job, hope they stopped for one in Sioux City, that’s the direction it was headed. Shirleen saw a field full of pheasants feeding in a field, why didn’t I? I was sleeping at that time, I do that well when she drives.
We slipped into town at 6:11 pm, nice to be home but had a great time looking at Christmas decorations in Vegas and Disneyland/Adventureland; a great time reliving times with Tom T., Kitty and their family. Tom was my baby sitter, yes I was small once. Back when I was in the Navy and stopped by their house I was there when Cheryl took her first steps, this was something I had forgotten but flashed back when mentioned. Then swinging over to Phoenix to visit Pat and Dave for lunch. Also following Mary and John’s blog on their trail to Black Rock in “The Coach”. We figuratively passed each other on hwy 40 within a day. All for now, thanks for watching, stay tuned for our travels to Texas and surrounding - jerr
