Our 4th and final day of riding, 47 miles from Gibbon back to Holdrege and I did not finish.  It was cold during the night, down to 42 degrees, I was chilled and I just had no muscles.  I made the mistake of skipping breakfast (did not want to ride back into town) and my snack bars just did not do it for me.  But for the little ways I went, about seven miles, I did get some interesting pictures.

Me and my shadow.

Had to take this picture.  Nearly 30 years ago my wife and I had car trouble and the guy who then lived there tried to help us from what is now that boarded up garage.
