Welcome to my Blog!

This blog is my way of recording events in my life for my own amusement & as a journal of sorts. I really don't expect anyone else to follow this. I am all for DOING, not watching or reading about adventures! However if anything I have done or am talking about doing on here inspires you to "GO FOR IT", then I've done my good deed of the day.


Beginning a new chapter of my life, flying solo after many years of married life, in a new area of my native state, Missouri (MO) & reestablishing a very simple, basic lifestyle on a spot of raw land.


If you've made it this far.....thanks for being interested in what I'm doing & coming along for the ride. I hope you enjoy my stories about my whaz going on in my life. Let our journey begin! Shift colors.

Day 14-Bridgeport, NE to Smith Center, KS

Day 14/Bridgeport, NE to Smith Center, KS  
Distance today: 323 miles
Total to date: 4882 miles

Not much to report today but are getting close to flipping into the 5K+ mileage!!

Still in rolling hills but they are green, as opposed to the gold of SD hills. Plan was to follow the Platte River for quite awhile on state hwy 30 east, which is parallel to the Platte until we were detoured to I-80, probably due to the Platte being way over it's banks. 

We both agree that we don't like interstates now....have finally converted Rob!!! So after being on I-80 some miles, I suggested we head south on a secondary road, then hook east again. Rob was all for this. 

So we are in another Mom & Pop place, the Buckshot Inn. Nice name eh? 

Another easy day! We stopped around 1430 today so Rob is doing his laundry & thanks to good internet speeds for a change, I'm getting current with this blog. Got completely caught up today! Yea!!! Maybe can sneak in a nap!

Tomorrow should reach Robert's home. I still have an extra day of travel, but am almost home & completing this adventure! No regrets, has been an outstanding trip!
