So today was really the first real day of traveling west with both cars and the boat. We did 400 miles today, hopefully our longest day, and made it to North Platte, Nebraska. The Army gives you 400 for the first day and 350 after that, which is how we came up with six days. Then we just divided it out. But with the boat, that is about as far as we can go. Kids did pretty well with Thomas, Nemo and Lightning McQueen. We'll see what happens when they grow tired of the movies.
Robert got pulled over for not having a license plate on the boat trailer. You don't have to in KS or TN but you do in NE. The guys just wanted to check out why and be sure he owned it. Plus with a car registered in TN and a boat registered in KS, it all looks strange. Hope that doesn't happen again tomorrow. It puts us behind! It got me to thinking that they probably see some crazy stuff coming down I-80. It's not real crowded, which would make it prime for crime. I must have seen 4 or 5 troopers this afternoon. Nice to know they are doing their job.
Tomorrow it's on to Wyoming. We originally planned to make it to Rawlings but the weather looks very windy tomorrow. That's tough with the boat and some of the hills we'll be hitting. We may just go to Laramie and stop before the first pass and hope the front moves on through tomorrow night.
