Last day in Nebraska

We are in Seward, Nebraska taking a day of rest. I sorely need it, just feeling beat up and need a day to recoup. Our last day off was in Casper, Wyoming. The shoulders on the road (US 34) in Nebraska are harsh, very rough, feels like you hit a pot hole every 10-15 feet. Seward is a nice little town, true Americana, looks like you walked onto the set of Back to the Future. People are very pleasant and nice and we actually found at least one beer with some hops to it, limited flavor, kind of a wheat beer. It will do, looking for something more in Iowa. Tomorrow we head to the Nebraska border and hope to cross the Missouri River. Lot's of crossing are closed due to flooding, but we think we can cross over at Plattesmouth, Nebraska and then pick up US 34 again in Iowa. If anyone has any ideas, we are always open, including places to stay. Temps are supposed to go into the high 90's or even exceed 100 tomorrow and the next few days, with humidity. We will try for a very early start in hopes to avoid the real hot. Winds are to kick up to 20-30 mph out of the South, Southeast. Anyway, the adventure continues, we are more 1600 miles into this, a little over 1,000 to go. Take care, John
