Like a Bullet Across Nebraska...
Hey, just thought I would post a quick update before I roll out for Boulder, Colorado to stay with my old friend and former roommate Greg. Tomorrow morning (Monday) I will leave Des Moines and drive about 9 hours across Iowa and Nebraska before begging my climb into the Rockies. Tomorrow I am going to drive straight through... no stops and virtually no turns as I cross vast stretches of farmland planted in the flat and fertile Great Plains. I have heard the drive across Nebraska is pretty bland... not looking forward to it. Somebody told me this... "You have to hate Nebraska before you can love it," and I suppose tomorrow I might experience the former. Recently, I heard someone call the melancholy of the Midwest "The Plains." It is the feeling synonymous to "The Blues" of the South. I am excited to hit the open road again tomorrow and I am looking forward to entering the true West. More videos are on the way. Hit me up in the comment section if you know what I mean when I say I am suffering from a case of the plains.
