Trip 2005 - Nebraska

Apparently in Nebraska, all Dix are supposed to get off the freeway at Exit 29, but I kept on going because I am kind hearted, I treat my fellow humans with respect and cooperate with the local authorities. I've been looking for funny road signs since we left California, and so far all we have found were Flaming Gorge and Dix. Disappointing...

One of the best things about traveling is the random stuff that you see on the road. There's no way in hell that I could have envisioned seeing a giant Abraham Lincoln head carved out of a rock overlooking the great plains. I'm actually glad that Honest Abe was there to watch over me because someone had to, and it might as well be him. I can think of worse, but I certainly can't think of any better.

Tim has repeatedly assured me time and time again that he is incapable of sleeping in cars, but I caught him sleeping in this picture. He later told me that he was just resting his eyes, but I said that that was incorrect because the only people that need to rest their eyes are Air Traffic Controllers. Ha ha, gotcha Timmy!

The day wore on into the next day and soon we were in Nebraska. I'd be more proliferate with my writing but one day just kind of melted into the next. I only knew 2 things at this point - I was hungry and I wanted to go home. The first one was taken care of courtesy of McDonald's, but it would be a long time before we would be back in Wisconsin.
