Day 4: Exit 420 to Ashland

We left I-80 for our scenic detour of even more rural Nebraska around 11:15 AM. Its 11:30 and we’ve almost made it one mile to the intersection with the detour, Highway 6. At this rate we should be in D.C. by 2013.

While I have some extra time, let me just mention that there is corn everywhere in Nebraska! Any empty space of any size has been planted. Field after field after field. It is not yet as high as an elephant’s eye, however. (This informative tidbit brought to you by the Nebraska Ag Council and your local Dairy Queen.)

It’s now 11:45 and after 30 minutes we have finally made it the three miles to the town of Ashland. Only 11 more miles to Gretna, where we can get back on the freeway.
