End: Benkelman, NE
Distance today: 78.4
Total: 2028.0
We're not in Kansas anymore... Although you wouldn't know it if it weren't for the signs, all these prairie towns look the same, and the past few days are all running together...
We had a really strong south wind all day. 25-ish mph sustained with gusts up to 35. Made for an interesting ride west, especially when you combine it with the big trucks passing at 65 mph... But once we got to Bird City, we turned north to head up to Nebraska, where we will catch US route 34 to take us into Colorado, an damn those last 20 miles were fun riding with the wind! I think I averaged 23 mph without even trying...
Just sitting here now by a motel, waiting for the owner to get back to see if they have any rooms... How could they possibly not have rooms? We're in Benkelman Nebraska, and there is not a single car in the parking lot, yet there is a sign in the window that says no vacancy. Anyways, some guys that were leaving the parking lot when we pulled in said the owner went out for dinner and would be back in an hour... So we wait...
