Day 36 - Ogallala NE to Iowa City IA




Out before 7:00 from Ogallala to click off the miles on the interstate. Made only one stop all day other than for gas and food. Stopped at Gothenberg NE to see an original Pony Express station. Interesting. Other than that it was keeping the peddle to the metal, and Nebraska has a 75 mph limit. Among the oddities that non-Cornhuskers might be interested in: We saw a State Trooper driving a pickup truck with red lights, signage, and presumably a siren; Saw a pheasant fly in front of our car; Saw a giant plow; During extreme snowstorms they close off the interstate highway with gates; Saw a sign that says they built a section of the highway with 47,000 recycled tires. Also saw a couple of single wind turbines - nothing like Texas' long line of them. Stopped at Iowa City for the night and to get photos developed.
