Greetings,
Beatrice Nebraska – Today, we are taking a break from driving. After three days driving from Idaho, we are less than 200 miles from the trailhead. We had rain and snow in Wyoming, rain in Nebraska, and head winds the whole way. We are weary from driving almost 1500 miles and the horses need a break from riding in the trailer as well. We took three days to drive what will take about eight weeks to ride.
Along the trip east, we took time to stop at Shoshone Falls and a Pony Express Station in Gothenburg Nebraska. Shoshone Falls stopped the upward migration of the salmon. Standing on the ground, we could feel the ground shake from the water pouring over Shoshone Falls. We spent the nights at fairgrounds in Rock Springs Wyoming and Ogallala Nebraska.
Last night we receive almost two inches of rain from thunderstorms all through the night. The whole experience of the lightning, thunder, and rain on the roof was magical. Tonight, the weather may put on another show, but this morning it is overcast and pleasant with temperatures in the 60s.
