Omaha, somewhere in middle America

Day one of the drive--

A wintry near-death driving experience is a right of passage isn't it? Hello North Platte, Nebraska. Your roads were deceptively icy, it was dark, and I don't know how to correct once I start sliding. Hello double spin out. I'm glad the roads were completely iced or there's no doubt we would have flipped. Strangers in Nebraska are nice though; my car is out of the snowy median without calling anyone and i'm now safely tucked into the closest hotel to the crash site trying to unwind and sleep. Hard to do so when my mom is snoring like a Mac truck on the next bed over.

Other then the high end drama, the first day was rather uneventful. Crappy roads the first two hours in WY, but I guess that's what you get for driving cross country in the middle of winter.

Happy MLK day yall. Be glad you don't have to spend it somewhere between Omaha and Cleveland. Not exactly what I call civil.

Drove through Nebraska once. Worst smelling state ever. Tip for the road don't stop in Kearney on your way through Nebraska, It's one of those really creepy small towns where you feel like everyone has a secret and you're not wanted there.
