The morning sun hit us about 6 am or so. We were ready to leave in
about half an hour, by then it was quite-quite hot already.
Instead of heading straight to Nebraska we went on I-90 instead to find
a gas station that was also a truck stop. After couple of attempts we
found one and showered. At that truck stop we saw the coolest looking
family - three men in cowboy outfits.
We then turned towards Nebraska and drove and drove and drove.

By the side of the road were pastures and here and there they were
dotted with little pieces of badlands.
It was quite hot and I was not paying enough attention because I missed
the state line sign. So the one here is really from a different part of
Nebraska state line. |

We drove through many small
towns and finally decided to stop. It was hot and we were really sticky
from sweating. We found a small recreation area just outside a small
town. Luckily for us this campsite had a river running through. It was
fast, cold, and quite shallow. We were brave and decided to go for a
swim to become less sticky. For a long time we just stood in about
knee-deep water. Then David became extremely brave and lied down on his
stomach. I couldn´t just watch and followed his example. Even
though the water was quite cold it was really nice to rinse ourselves
in the river. On this campsite we saw fireflies for the first time. We
also heard some creatures who made sound like high-voltage electric
lines. I think they might be big crickets or something but we decided
to call them electricity birds because David kept insisting that it was
power line sound!
