Up at the crack of dawn. well... ok... 08:30. I finished off the donuts we'd bought yesterday, AND ate the subway sandwich I'd bought yesterday. Whooop.
Trainer has a few more hours to go before he has to take his 10, so he wants to drive this morning. I'll take over in Iowa. Looks like more rain on the way. Muahahahaha!
Mostly pleasant drive across Iowa. Just outside Walnut, traffic on I-80 came to a dead stop - we took to the surface roads. Took US 6 to Council Bluffs. BAD weather there. NWS talking about golf ball sized hail and winds to 60mph. We got the winds (and the rain, of course) but no hail.
Back on I-80 through Omaha. Woah - they got hit. Trees and branches everywhere, and at least one car floating away in margaritaville. Occasional drifts next to the highway.. piles of hailstones.
Drove to just outside Ogallala, NE. Ran out of hours, so Trainer is taking over again. He made it to just past Laramie and stopped in the parking lot of an abandoned truck stop. Nature at its finest.
