This morning our trip through Wyoming was nice. We didn't see many antelope but enough to satisfy our need for wildlife sightings. Once we reached the Lincoln monument rest area (the highest point 8500' on the Lincoln Highway, US30/I-80) the scenery changes to high plains. That continues into Nebraska which reminded me of a story that I heard many years ago.
General Custer gathered his troops and told them that he had some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that we are surrounded by thousands of blood thirsty Indians on the warpath and after our scalps. But the good news is that we won't have to cross back through Nebraska on our way home.
The person that told this story said that when he would tell it in Nebraska he changed the returning route to Kansas.
The weather continues cool and dry, thank you GWF.
