From CO to NE

Flat: No mountains at all, which meant no hairpin curves nor steep grades. Surrounded by desert or prairie or field. Didn't even see trees until I got to Ogalala, CO. 75 mph pretty much all the way through, except at construction areas. Lots of trucks; some even overtaking me and I was already at 80 mph.

Stinky: I hit at least three areas where cows stank so bad. And one area that smelled like skunk. But there were a couple of spots where they were mowing and the fresh-cut grass was a heaven-sent heavenly scent. ;-)

Funny name: Got gas at Crook, CO. And it's not even a prison area.

Naps: I only had 5.5 hours of sleep last night, plus an extra hour after breakfast before checking out. So I took naps twice on the route. Surprisingly, I fell deep asleep during those naps, which is unusual. The first nap was 8 minutes and the second nap was 7 minutes, but both were very refreshing that I was surprised they were that short.
