August 13th: Road to Colorado

August 13th was a long day - 500 miles (about 800 kilometers), but it seemed longer. Much of Nebraska was flat, wheat fields. I started driving at 5 am through an amazing electrical storm. Still dark, the lighting lit up the sky every few seconds, and then a very hard rain in the center of the storm. It was a little scary. Towards the western edge of Nebraska it got a little more scenic, and then much dryer. My route then took me south through the high desert of eastern Wyoming (over 5000 feet, about 1600 meters) to Colorado. I have now traveled 3375 miles (about 5500 kilometers).
