Day three end of the interstate


Up at 6:40 and, on the rosd by 8:00, temp 30 degrees. Not a cloud in the sky.
We decided to leave the interstate, and travel on Hwy 50 which is two lanes of truck heaven, every truck that comes and goes from this state was on this road. By noon the temp had climbed to 37 and by 1;00 we had arrived in Dodge. 455 kil later the temp on the sign was 102F.

We cruised the main street in seach of the Long Branch Saloon, and could not find it, we were in a bad way and needed beer, I mean water,,, we asked a couple of local people, and they did not know where it was either. We did manage to find it, after a short time and, believe it or not we drank them dry, they closed the beer taps and locked them. Can you believe it.

We went to the old west town, after checking into our room and, had the chuck wagon meal which was delicious, then to the Long Branch, for a old west shoot out( for a minute I felt like I was at work), then inside the saloon for the show, complete with dancing girls, and it was really quite good, but they still did not have beer so we had a sasparilla, another first.

To end, and for tomorrow may I be the first to say "TED GET THE HELL OUT OF DODGE"
Haha it was worth the drive.
