It was a warm 69 degrees at 6:30 a.m. and reached the mid 90's by afternoon. We left Buffalo, MT at 8 a.m. and drove south on I-25 to the Flying-J at Casper, Wyoming where fueled-up. We saw lots of Antelope along both sides of I-25 and a buck deer with a huge rack. After lunch at the rest area at the junction of I-25 and Rt 26, we took 26-East. Rt 26 follows the route of the old "Oregon Trail" and passes through ranch land and some very small towns. One of the towns we passed through was Fort Laramie, with a population of only 243. We encountered some short construction delays, but weren't held-up very long. After entering Nebraska we continued to I-80 East and we're spending the night at the WalMart in North Platte.

| THIS ROCK FORMATION IS NAMED "CHIMNEY ROCK" |
 |
| NEBRASKA TOWN ALONG THE OLD "OREGON TRAIL" |
 |
| THERE WAS JUST THIS ONE LONE TREE AND THESE CATTLE WERE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF IT'S SHADE WHILE THE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE MID-90'S |

| THIS SMALL TOWN IS OBVIOUSLY PROUD OF IT'S COWBOY HERITAGE |
