Miles Hiked: .5 Today (in the rain so that should count as double) / 6.5 Total
I whined yesterday about it being cold in Yellowstone. Just for reference, it snowed a couple hours after we left.
Today we left Wyoming to head to Nebraska. I've been warned that there is pretty much nothing in Nebraska. It is true that a lot of the views are the same, but beautiful none-the-less (or none the less, not sure). We headed to Scottsbluff to see Chimney Rock and Scottsbluff National Monument.
Chimney Rock was one of those places I'm glad I can say that I've seen, but was rather un-impressed. Scottsbluff was sort of the other way around, I wasn't expecting much, but the views were amazing. As we drove up to the overlook the rain started. You don't drive over 1,000 miles to NOT see it, so a hike in the rain is exactly what we did. It was chilling, a little wet (it wasn't raining too hard), and windy...I hate the wind.
Then our drive to our hotel. This was not a long drive at only 2 hours, but for some reason our audiobooks decided to un-download themselves so primary tool for keeping the kids from murdering each other was unavailable. We did have a few more fights than normal, but it went much better than expected. They found creative ways to entertain themselves. It made my heart happy.
THEN we had the best meal so far on this trip. Runza. Look it up. Find one near you. Eat it. Its fast food, but burger-joint style burgers. They had big booths that fit us all without squishing in, chargers at the table, and great desserts.
It was still a cold day. I'm really hoping it warms up soon though.
