2 RV's heading west. 1 to Carson City NV, 1 to Davis

... spending the night at Sidney NE

This place still has breakfast, the kind we used to get at the Days Inn/Super 8. Basic packaged stuff. Plus yogurt.

Headed out a 7:30. Light traffic. A very uneventful day. At times I had to focus, just to stay focused. Usually I only do that coming up to a scale or an exit. Traffic was easy, no wind, nothing.

Just before our rest area in Stuart, I noticed that the Casey's was closed. All signage down. We had see the same a few days ago in OK.

1st stop was for a break at the Adair rest area.

2nd stop was the BP in Gretna for fuel. I had thought we could see a fuel price sign from the highway but we couldn't. This place had the cheapest fuel yesterday so we try it. $1.99. At the next exit where we often stop it is $2.09 and $2.19. A few miles down the road at the next truck stop it is $2.44. It all helps when we are putting in 40 gallons between us.

3rd stop is Arby's in York for lunch. So far all the food places are still open. From here we do our 24 hour advance call for our drops and also call to get our permits.

Did see one bus heading to Pittsburg today, taken the I-80 route. Just looked and going I-40 is 110 miles further but it looked like most drivers run that way instead. Cheaper fuel, cheaper motels, better weather.

We didn't see much else for driveaway. A few stacks of trucks. A couple of trucks towing their car. Only noticed a couple of travel trailers pass us that were heading to dealer. Not much.

4th stop was in Cozad at a rest area.

5th stop is for fuel at the Walmart in Ogallala. $2.07. Cheapest at this exit, next closest was $2.14 and then on up to $2.44.

6th and final stop was the Comfort Inn in Sidney. One car in the lot and I'm guessing that is the night clerk. We are off the road within a few minutes of sun set one way or the other. Clouded up just before sunset.

Once in we call our Mexican place across the freeway and walk over. And Back. Food is warmer this time but not hot. Next time we may drive just to be able to eat the food hot.

Load board ... wow. We left a day too early. 70+ left at the end of the day. 3 left to where I am going. 1 left to where BB is going. 2 to Junction City OR. 8 to WA, 10 to FL. Who knows how much more there was during the day.
