Day 55: 7/14/19: Mullen to Broken Bow, NE

Pic below of morning sky outside of Mullen.


I was in the Sandhills during a large part of the day.  They got smaller as I moved East, and eventually went away and were replaced by corn fields (pics below).



I'm now one time zone closer to home.


I've been told by a couple of locals that the wind primarily blows out of the south this time of year.  As soon as I got out of the Sandhills and started heading southeast, I knew they were speaking the truth.  These flags are pointing to the north.


I don't think there is anything more humbling than riding a bicycle against a stiff headwind.  It is a great teacher of patience and persistence.  Enough said about my last 41 miles of my ride today.

I was pretty exhausted when I pulled into Broken Bow.  I stopped by DQ and had a couple of double cheeseburgers.  Then off to the local supermarket for food.  While I was at the supermarket, I treated myself to dessert (pics below).



It only had 600 total calories.  I think I need another : )

I went to the city RV park (Tomahawk Park), and it is only $5 to pitch a tent.  It also comes with a shower.  Best priced city campground so far.

Total miles today: 97.1
