O'neill, NE and Wray, CO

Spent Sunday night in O'neill, NE were it looked like we maybe stuck for another day when we looked at the weather. Yet the morning dawned bright and sunny despite the storms of the night. We plotted a route that would take us around the bad weather hoping to make at least a couple hundred miles before getting into bad weather.

Turns out, we had a rain free day. saw some interesting parts of Nebraska. Funny thing is that it seems almost every town has a museum of some sort, one place had a clown doll museum but it was closed. Another town proclaimed itself the windmill capital only the wasn't a windmill in sight. We stopped in one little town for lunch with a pioneer museum. We walked through the public area to get to the restaurant and took some pictures I will post when we get home.

Outside of corn fields and road construction there wasn't much to see in Nebraska however, I have to say the folks are really friendly.

Landed in Wray,CO Monday night after getting in about 400 miles. Only 2 hotels in the town, we chose the one with the restaurant attached. At first we weren't even sure the place was open since it was so dead. The whole place is so dark and dreary it could be in a horror movie. At least we were fed and had a roof over our heads for the night.

Soon to be on the road again.
