Not much of note after South Dakota. We pretty much got through Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana as quickly as possible. Drove around Omaha a bit looking to eat an Omaha steak...ended up in some two-bit bar, but the steak was pretty good. As for Omaha - found it to be utterly characterless but typical of too many American cities...full of highways leading to shopping centers that all look alike. Small-town Nebraska was refreshing though...my car has no CD player or anything so we listened to a lot of radio; in some such small town we got the local news which included bulletins such as - ¨Josephine Davis backed her car into a wall at the car wash on Tuesday. No injuries reported. $1300 in damage to the vehicle¨ and ¨Jerry Thompson got a speeding ticket on Monday. Court date set for next week¨ and other such trivialities. Nice sense of community and all but I think I´d trade it for a bit of anonymity.
It was good to get home. Rolled up quite a few more miles on my old Camry. 300,000 is just around the corner....
