A Mid America Journey - Day 27

The temperature when I left Fort Collins, Colorado this morning was 84F, which turned out to be the low temperature of the day, by the late afternoon the temperature rose to 103F while driving along I-80 in Nebraska.  Needless to say it was extremely hot with the sun shining the entire day.  Gasoline purchased today was $3.559/gallon, well below the average on the trip.  One must really stay sharp driving across mid America as it is straight and flat.  The speed limit of 75 mph does make it a little less foreboding, however.  In addition The Our Lady of Peace Shrine, Golden Spike Tower, and the Pony Express Station sites helped break up the trip.
Tomorrow continues the journey across mid America!
Night folks!
