6/26 Nancy: Cheyenne, Wyoming.
We drove through Nebraska today, and it was beautiful. Somehow we hit perfect weather, high of 80, not humid; the corn was intense green which is still a miracle for us New Mexicans. I think it's a big part of the reason we're on this trip; to get some green in our eyeballs. Our favorite stop today was this huge lake near southwestern Nebraska called Lake McConaughy. Oh, what a treat, a wonderful swimming lake with pristine white sand beaches mile after mile. Unfortunately we'd already booked this room at the Super 8 in Cheyenne, so we couldn't stay, but we sure wanted to. We swam and swam, walked and ran a lot, then drove on to Cheyenne. Tomorrow we hit the Sierra Trading Post - the real live one, not the website, then a little mountain time.
