Day 71: Longest day yet!

On the road again! Traveled 666.1 miles today and in 4 states:
Wyoming (day 2)...
Either I have been blind this whole trip or just not environmentally aware, since we consume diesel in this rig, but this was the first gas station I saw that advertised ethanol. It's in Wyoming! Go figure! Let me put this in perspective (thanks Terry) Wyoming has a population of 509,294 according to the 2008 Atlas we bought at Wal-Mart prior to our trip. According to the Charlotte, NC Chamber of Commerce web site they have a population of 695,995! How many ethanol gas stations does Charlotte have, I wonder? Nebraska...
This is beautiful farm country!
Nebraska had acres of corn fields!
Cabela's World Headquarters in Sidney, NE. This place had a campground and store, it was HUGE!The Great Platte River Road Archway, Kearney, NE
We slept a few hours at a Rest Area, but it was so noisy and HOT we decided to move on!Through a small portion of Iowa...
On to Missouri... Remarkable buildings
