I started noticing small blooming bushes a couple days ago but 100+ miles further east, the trees are out in full bloom. Really pretty. The lilacs are coming out, as well as some unidentifiable, to me, white blooming bushes. I don’t recognize a lot of the plants here because we don’t have them in my part of the world.
The fog was so thick on my way to dinner last night that you could cut it with a knife. Really kinda spooky. Woke up to rain and more fog. Visibility was really poor and there was a cold NE wind. I just could not make myself ride in those conditions. This trip is supposed to be fun.
So I was able to locate a ride by asking the motel and the cafe. Lucked out this couple from town was heading to Omaha to pick their daughter up at the airport. I hitched a ride and got dropped off in Council Bluffs where it was an entirely different world. No rain and warmer temps even though still super cloudy. Thank you Dick and Karen Gallagher for your generosity in driving me that far.
I was able to contact another warm shower host at the last minute. Bless Ron and Bev for taking me in on short notice. Dinner was scrumptious and did laundry. Great hosts.
.3 miles today. Woohoo!!
