Flat...

We were so sad to leave Sarah, Kenny & Alex but leave we must. To send us properly on our way, they made us a wonderful breakfast with eggs from their own chickens, Kenny's home cured & smoked bacon, homemade waffles. It's a wonder we were able to waddle off as planned! PS - Alex is soon going to outgrow us all.

Then it was on to flat. And more flat. Nebraska by mid morning to find more flat while we passed by towns such as Brush. Finally a break in the exciting countryside to visit downtown Gothenburg and the Pony Express Station/Museum. Quite nice. Almost everyone has heard of the Pony Express (you have, haven't you?) even though it only operated 19 months in 1860-1861. Each rider rode 75-100 miles switching horses every 10 miles or so. The trivia question, of course, deals with the Pony Express. What was the age of the youngest rider hired?

The woman at the museum recommended we have lunch at their local steak house. We couldn't miss it as it was a metal building with a large cow. Parking proved not to be a problem. Thought you'd like to see a taste of Nebraska in the background.

Flat, corn, flat.... Finally Iowa!!! We're barely into the state but so far it's a bit more rolly with a few more trees.
