Missed it by That Much...

You know what they say about best laid plans... And if you ask me what they say is true. My late start, three and half hours to be exact, put me completely off schedule and I ended up having to stop in a little oasis known as Waco, NE.

So here I am in my tent, cell phone tethering my laptop to the Internets, listening to sound of traffic go by on I-80 composing a quick post.

Watching as the time was ticking by, knowing that I was not going to make Kearney, I grabbed a map from a Nebraska visitor center so I'd be able to find a campsite. Unfortunately, my only focus was to make sure that I was close enough to the highway so I could have cell reception without really considering the consequences of being close to the interstate.

I'm just hoping to make it out of here early enough tomorrow so that I can get into Colorado at a decent time.

Well I'm turning in... G'night all.
