Well we made it. 829 or so miles in under 13 hours. West Bend (7:20 AM) to North Platte NE (8:10 PM).
First, the bikes really caused a drop in gas mileage, way more than I expected. Averaging about 28 MPG, bummer.
Anyway it was an uneventful drive through IL and IA, with a little rain here and there. Once in NE (yes I will be abbreviating these states) it got sunny and hot. Joel was a trooper, non stop (just gas) all the way through. We averaged 66 MPH, aided by he fact most of NE is 75 mph speed limit.
We hit Whiskey Creek BBQ for ribs and fajitas. Waitress was a goofball but nice. Tomorrow takes us to Denver.
One more thing - as I get the photo thing sorted out I will post or link to them.
