We aimed for another early start today, and at 10:30 we finally got underway. We’re confident we’ll crack this nut but may need a few more days to figure it out. The good news is we changed our oil and got ourselves a tire pump.
As previously discussed, we drove into O’Neill, Nebraska last night just before the end of nautical twilight. Having the headlights and taillights on the car gives us comfort, but we’re more concerned about traffic coming up behind us than oncoming traffic.

Our first planned event today is to drive by 306 S. 13th Street in Norfolk, NE. After that we’ll continue south (but really east) on US route 275, which we joined at its northern terminus in O’Neill, until Wisner, NE, and then head straight to Decatur, NE, where we’ll finally cross the longest river in North America, which we promised to do several days ago before metallurgical considerations changed our plans.
If you happen to be in the area feel free to drive along side but please don’t honk….we’re a little jumpy about sudden, loud noises.
You cats are removing the rocking chairs from your room- one at a time! Hope your plans go mo betta!

Looks like you could be having dinner at the Green Lantern Steak House in Decatur. Great yelp reviews, and maybe the only restaurant in town. Open until 9.

More likely a late lunch! We’re gonna see how close we can get to Des Moines!
