Day three: Cody to Sidney, NE

Well, we seem to have left at a very fortunate time of year, because even barren Wyoming was beautiful and green. We drove about 500 miles over prarie-like land. We finally came to Nebraska, and...

Robbie Severson...Nebraska. It's muggy and smells like cow poo (at least where we are) but, honestly, it's not nearly as bad as everyone thinks. Maybe it's just spring-time charm, but it's not so gross after all. In Sidney was the famous Cabela's HQ and that was...a sporting goods store? Perhaps because it is the World Headquarters we thought it was going to be a lot more grandiose and fabulous but it was a lot like the other Cabela's stores we've visited. But, fortunatley, it's not the highlight of our trip, or our central purpose, so we're not particularly shattered.

Dinner, well, there's an apparent void of good restaurants in Sidney, NE. We asked about five different locals at Cabela's and they all suggested the same three places, one of which was Perkins. So, we ate at a Pizza Hut and, um, the service left a bit to be desired, but hey, it's not like we had anything pressing that we had to do.

So, here we are at our Comfort Inn, it's muggy, and it stinks like cow poopey. Yucky cow poopey. I will say this, however: if this is the worst day of our trip, we're in for a truly Excellent Adventure. Night all!

By the way, Faulkner has improved. Believe it or not, the apendix was indeed helpful. I can do it, Uncle Russ!
