The Frosty Mug Restaurant
October 10, 2006
Kathy heard a voice saying, “Pennsylvania license” and woke Will. By the time he had dressed the police officer was coming around to the side door. Will opened the door saying, “ Are we okay here? We got tired and pulled over here.” To which the police officer replied, “You’re okay. Parking near the tracks makes you a terrorist these days.” Both men laughed. Will told him we would be out of here in an hour or so and he told us to have a good day. That is how our day began.
It was cool and cloudy today. Two more trains came this morning; one was a passenger train headed east out of Denver. We joined US34 for the last stretch across Nebraska. Coming into Cambridge, Nebraska we found the city park with free hookups with electric, dump- great spot to spend three days. Take note fellow travelers. It was 44 degrees. Gas was $2.28. In McCook we caught a wifi hit so sent mail and then stopped in the Walmart to pick up a few DVDs. Kathy found flip-flops and water shoes great for her up coming trip to Hawaii for just fifty cents! We had hoped to get the oil changed, but as it turned out they overwrote our slip and when we finally went to check the roadtrek, they had a red truck in the bay with Bradley on the ticket. We figured we should try it another day. The manager offered us a gift card, which was nice, but at that point we just wanted to get back on the road. It was cold, rainy and the electrical system kept going off and on. We had to pull over and wait for it to come back. It did. It was cold and rainy. We decided to head south for Oberlin, KS. Nice little town with brick streets and globe lights along the wide main street. We sat a while in the city park while Kathy answered the phone. Maria, it was good chatting! We saw blue skies to the west and took off along sr36 for CO. A half dozen deer crossed the street leaping on their way.
In McDonald we stopped in The Frosty Mug Restaurant where we enjoyed a chiliburger and fries; great fries. Then back on US route 36. There was a line in the distance where the clouds just stopped and blue bright sky began. Above us are the dark heavy clouds; maybe we will drive out from them tonight. We made it out of the clouds as the sun set. Behind us the ground was pink.
Jen, thanks for the info. We will try to connect with your brother before we head south. Hey, Forrest called! We are planning to meet, maybe at John’s.
We arrived in Joe, a small little tiny town with a few houses and a rest area loop where we stopped for the night.
