Day 4: Kearney to Exit 420

We left Kearney around 9:00 AM after searching for a hidden Starbuck’s for a half hour. Thankfully we called our personal OnStar assistant (Elizabeth), who was able to track down a Starbuck’s in York – about an hour away.

From there we headed on to Lincoln, home of the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers (Motto: We’re Named After A Person Who Takes Husks Off Of Corn And Our Football Team Can Still Kill Your Football Team).

Shortly after Lincoln we ran into a detour on I-80. Apparently an accident involving a semi carrying yogurt (I am not making this up) has shut down the highway. Apparently it is too dangerous to drive on a substance that closely resembles snot. So, we’re stalled on our slowly moving, several mile detour, 36 miles away from Omaha, for who knows how long.
