Road Trip - Day 3

We spent last night in Doniphan, NE, at the USA Inn there. We went to St Paul Lutheran for church this morning before we hit the road. We looked at the local Pilot for a power adaptor that would plug into the lighter thing in the car and run the laptop but couldn't find one we could be sure would work. The battery is only running at about 2.5 hours, which leaves less time for work on the laptop during the trip than I would like. Rob and I have had to [gulp] ... talk. :)

We made more stops than we had planned today. We had lunch at a Mi Ranchito. Our meal selection choices were limited by the local presence of e. coli in their water system. So, we could only buy soda to drink. However, they did put shredded lettuce and chopped tomato on our stuff as a garnish. Like, what did they rinse it with? And before she handed me the bill, she ran her hands under tapwater. Handed the bill-holder over with hands dripping. Ugh. Like, why bother telling us they were dealing with e. coli? We did have some fun pit stops this afternoon, at the Cabela's outlet in Sidney, NE and at the Sierra Trading Post outlet in Cheyenne, WY. Didn't find anything to buy but sure had fun looking.

And here we are, in Laramie, WY. Tomorrow is the real exciting day. We hope to make it Salt Lake City by early evening, visiting the Young Living farm the next morning. If we get there in time tomorrow evening, we could eat at the onsite restaurant. They have a store there where I can smell a hundred essential oils! Yippee! Rob admitted today in the car that he's excited too.



So, today is Sunday. Monday gets us to Utah. We will overnight in Reno, NV on Tuesday. That puts us in Redding, CA on Wednesday.
