As we left Omaha at about 11 a.m. the sky was filled with rain-laden clouds. Temperatures were in the low 50s. Driving north on US 75 and then northwest on US 275 the temperature continued to drop and we were soon enveloped in rain, increasing mist and fog. This did not diminish our enjoyment of what we could see about us in this mid-west landscape with its contour farming on all the hills; miles of feed lots and the small towns with their grain elevators and tractor auction yards.

Just about a perfect day for Linda. No sun in her eyes today!
