2018--day 10
Thursday, 31 May 2018
Thank the Lord for late checkout, and for Village Inn (with their grown-up grilled cheese sandwiches and their triple-berry pie). And their sense of humor.
Today was a travel day, and a relatively short one by recent standards. Our plan was to travel from Colby, Kansas to Valentine, Nebraska. Interesting town, Valentine: the street signs are red (it's the heart of Cherry County, itself bigger than my home state of Connecticut). Up to about 50 years ago, Main Street separated the central and mountain time zones. The region is also surrounded by sand hills. They're picturesque, but they make chasing somewhat miserable (bad sightlines).
It was one of the earliest ends of the trip. After a celebratory steak dinner (six tornadoes, remember) that did not (repeat: NOT) feature appetizers (see below), we called it a night. Final tally: 287 miles.
