Day 3: Little America to Cheyenne

Around 1:45 we stopped for gas and lunch at Little America. A 70+ year old truck stop in the middle of nowhere, Wyoming (State Motto: “More Fireworks Stands Than Starbuck’s”). We also played our second hole of Frisbee Golf (Jake won by a stroke AGAIN!

Then it was on to Cheyenne. We drove 296 miles straight through. Not much to report except that we made it in less than 4 hours. We filled the tank, looked for a place to eat but couldn’t find anything that wasn’t a chain. So, we ended up spending a few minutes at the Cheyenne Depot Square – right in front of a sweet looking train station – where we snagged WiFi access. We also played another hole of Frisbee Golf. I’d rather not talk about the results.

Our problem now is that by 7:00 PM we’d only gone 450 miles or so. If we press on to Kearney, Nebraska, we’ll be back on track and might be able to make it to Chicago tomorrow in time for a White Sox game. It’s 8:30 PM and we just passed the “Welcome to Nebraska” sign so wish us luck!
