Another great riding day. Even had more interesting things to see. The windmill above was just one of several dotting the landscape. I’ve always loved windmills and wish I had one just to look at all the time.
Ate lunch at a small local restaurant and the second picture is of the sink in the ladies room. So cool. And this bathroom was roomy even with a chair upon which to sit. Many restrooms I have visited are barely big enough to get into and not always the cleanest looking. This bathroom gets 5 stars from me.
15 miles from my destination I stopped to drink water and rest my butt. Yeah, it still hurts. I was analyzing the motel sign directly in front of me and the owner drives up and offers me fresh water. Didn’t need it but the tho’t was really nice.
However, I got a kick out of the sign. Great big letters said MOTEL. Underneath in medium size letters it said WELCOME. Underneath that I’m smaller letters yet, it said microwaves and refrigerators. Usually one might see ‘hunters’ or ‘cyclists’ etc. I just laughed to myself. Ok, you can say I need to get a life but these kind of things really are humorous when there’s no one to talk to or nothing else to do. Analyzing signs is one of the ways I keep my sanity. Also takes my mind off butt pain.
So another sign I have seen since the border is the Nebraska ByWay sign that says Bridges to Buttes. First time I saw that I figured I’d be riding from the lowest to highest points possible all across the state. So far, very few bridges but I understand that might change tomorrow. Also, have a head wind forecast for tomorrow. Hills and headwinds can be a nightmare but I plan to be on the road at dawn to maybe avoid some wind. Ha, we’ll see.
