Day One - DSM to Ogallala, NE

We blew out of town on a wing and a prayer around 1:15 pm. Traffic between Lincoln and Omaha slowed us up, 30 min to be exact. Nebraska, 1; Team Osborne, 0. We hit the gas once we got through, until...

Death Storm. The clouds were building somewhere around Brady, NE; radio man says ping pong ball hail and 70 mph wind. Yep. The sky looked like a beast, truly like an animal. It was NUTS. I even pulled off for a bit...it was that foul. Along with everyone else in a mile or two stretch of I80. Fast forward 15 minutes, sunny again. So, so wild. Nebraska 2, Team O 0. Went from 87 degrees to 61 and back to 80 too.

Then, we made it to Ole's. Sweet reprieve, greasy food, and a little rest. Now it is the Super 8 in Ogallala for tonight, then to Denver, and Frisco tomorrow. Pics to come shortly...
