We talked about it last night and decided to press hard to make it home in two days instead of doing a slow easy travel in three.
At one of our Walmart stops, I bought some Freon for the Toyhouse. We replaced the dryer before our trip, and evidently, we had a leak, so our AC wasn’t working. We stopped at the Lincoln Memorial Rest stop at the top of the summit east of Laramie Wyoming, and it took about 30 minutes to add the R134 and we had AC again. 🙂
Passing through central Wyoming the Rockies turns to a high altitude plains. Anyplace that installs Snowfences beside the Highway, you know it gets cold and snowy. The highest altitude of the entire trip happens just east of Larime Wyoming where we hit 8,600 feet,. The highway is hilly, and varies between 7,800 and 8,400 ft. before it starts a slow descend just past Cheyenne.
Cheyenne is a central point for the US, not only for the railroad and highway, but is also a central command and control facitity for most Satellite operations.
As we passed into Nebraska, the altitude slowly lowered. 
Just outside of Kearny, there is the “Arch” that passes over the highway. This was built 15 years ago and has many displays that show the lives of the early pioneers. Kearny Nebraska is just about the half way point, and just about anyone traveling to the west, would travel through Kearny.
We made some very good time today, traveling 65 mph most of the day. After passing Omaha Nebraska and into Council Bluffs Iowa, we decided to stop at the Casino for the night.
Unless you have Coach AC and can leave it run all night, I would not recommend this as an overnight stop. It cost $30, (with electric) parking is right beside the interstate. We would have been much better off to continue for another 20 minutes and stopped at one of the many Rest Areas in Iowa. Oh Well. Chalk this one up.
