Jeez, what a slog that was. Corn fields punctuated by Harvester dealerships.
I hung on as long as I could trying to get to Wyoming, but I fell short by 100 miles and ended up crashing at a one horse town not far from Scotts Bluff.
The Motel/Hotel was nice enough but more expensive than anything else on the trip, desperate measures I guess. At least it gave me a good start to get to Sheridan later the next day.
I broke up the trip with a stop at Fort Laramie, one of the most important forts along the Oregon Trail. I didn 't set out to follow that Route, but that is what happened. I can't comprehend how hard that must have been. I had enough trouble in a Subaru, never mind an ox cart or even a hand cart.
