nebraska helped me name my little hernia

Well we made it into and almost through nebraska, its flat and beautiful with absolutely nothing for as far as the eye can see, we've been passing towns with populations of less than 100 and towns that don't exsist anymore. I've never been to nebraska or seen anything like it but its awesome for big miles.had a little bit of heat exhaustion scare or something earlier today. I was feeling totally fine and then pulled over to a subway and sort of came in and out of consciousness for a bit goat and I then decided to make it an early day since the next town is 47 miles from here with literally nothing in between. We keep passing historical markers for the oregon trail and its so cool to think about what it must have been like to come west on wagon never knowing if you were going to see a town or place for food. We talked about how many people need to be rescued because they venture out into the wilderness unprepared or worse yet they assume that someone will come and save them, back then you had to be prepared to endure whatever where and whenever.we've got three more states to go and few more days until we head into yellowstone and the mountains.
Song of the day: hurt so good- john mellencamp
Quote of the day: do you know what you're naming your hernia?
Mmmmm. OGALLALA! Its name is ogallala.
