5/7 -- 11:54 PM (Pacific Time)

Today will most likely prove to have been my longest driving day of the entire trip. I basically drove for 13 hours straight. I stopped twice for gas (44 MPG today!), once to see what the white stuff off the side of the road was (it was salt), and once when the cop pulled me over (no ticket, so i still have a perfect driving record). I crossed the continental divide...twice; i think i'm going around in circles, but they must be pretty big circles because i'm in Nebraska now and only about 350 miles from Omaha!
