It shore is a fer piece cross this here corn-husker State. We're 327 miles west of the Missouri River and have another 126 miles of Nebraska left before we enter Wyoming. Some of the corn is being cut and the fodder baled for cattle feed and there are some corn fields still being irrigated.
We always have low fuel economy on this route because as I have said it is all up hill and there is usually a head wind, today was no exception. When we entered Nebraska at the Iowa line the elevation is right at 1000 feet and here in Ogallala it is 3200 feet. The trip looks like all flat land except that flat surface is on a tilt.
In the urban area around Lincoln we saw a flock of turkeys (8-10) along the right-of-way but that is the total of our wildlife sightings today. In the past we have often seen deer along the Platte River. There were a few showers today but not during our fuel-up or other stops.
