Oregon Trail (2nd Leg)

Nothing much to report from day 2. I would not wish driving across Nebraska on anyone. It is brutal. The only treat is the 75 mph speed limit. I did for some reason see that the World Headquarters for Cabella's is located in Sydney, NE. Obscure trivia for you.

Wyoming seems to be much more scenic. Mountains with snow-covered peaks, cool rock formations and an obsession for cowboys that goes beyond the ubiquitous window sticker or liscense plate holder:

It's all about "Poke Pride".

I found a nice hotel in Rock Springs, WY. Gonna stay in and catch Thursday night College Football along with the Halloween episode of The Office.

My vehicle is doing very well, especially with the wind taking a little break today compared to yesterday's 40-50 mph gusts that made everyone on the road look drunk. I made it far today, and I only have650 miles left to go. I am going to get up early tomorrow and have lunch in Salt Lake City with a friend of mine. If everything goes as planned, I will arrive in La Grande Saturday before noon. Maybe I could still catch the Oregon/USC game at 5:00 p.m. PST.
