Ah, another travel day! Broke camp early, because it’s going to be a long drive – 362 miles, according to the Map App. There is some beautiful countryside in this part of the world – lots of rolling hills, and when you get to South Dakota, they even have good-sized trees on them!

On the way, we fueled up in Oshkosh, b’gosh! There’s a Cabela’s something or another there, too. Not a store, and not a distribution center from the look of it.

A bit further on, we stopped at Carhenge! Different. I’d been to the row of cars outside of Amarillo called Cadillac Ranch, but this is actually a recreation of the real Stonehenge, with the cars allegedly placed the way the stones are in the real Stonehenge.

Here are some photos. This is a close-up:

This one is the whole thing, as you walk up on it:

And this one is another partial I thought was creative:

After this, it was time for lunch, and we stopped at a place called Sam & Louie’s, a New York style Pizzeria. On a whim, I decided to try their Sam’s Stromboli, made with Italian sausage, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, red onion, mushrooms, green bell pepper, and mozzarella cheese. VERY good! I only mention it because it easily makes second-best for Strombolis I’ve tried. My all-time favorite is Sal’s, either in Dallas or Plano. It took the Plano location a while to get it right, but now they’re every bit as good as the original. GREAT Stromboli.

Upon leaving S&L’s, I saw this:

And thought “Wow! I thought only Colorado and Washington had legalized it!”. Then I realized they meant beer. Not quite so progressive, these Nebraskans.

We arrived at the KOA, dropped the trailer, and headed for a local bike shop. We spoke to a very nice young lass, who was quite full of good information – not only about the local trails, but the local eateries as well. She mentioned some of the trails we already knew about, so we knew it was good info, and after eating at one of her recommended places, she knows good food, too. We’ll be seeing her for breakfast, at her second job as waitress – another good place to eat. I can’t wait! Good food and bicycles – does life get any better? You do a lot of one so you can do a lot of the other. Or, if you do a lot of one, you have to do a lot of the other. Either way works.

BTW, the bike shop is Black Hills Bicycles, here:

Dinner was at Everest – Indian and Nepalese cuisine. I had the hot Lamb Curry, and The Bear had some chicken dish. Both were delicious. I also had the Mango Lassi, which was to die for, even if it’s named after a dog – go figure, those foreigners and the things they call their food! (Just kidding! Nobody get their shorts in a knot!)

We have wi-fi, at the trailer! Woohoo! It’s been a long day, so the photos will get done tomorrow. At least I know they will get done. But first, we ride!
