And back to base...

Chase Day #6

Or not really. We've got to get back to Denver today and it's just as well there is no weather to chase. There is some stuff kicking off in Chicago but that is so far away it may as well be on the moon. All we have to look forward to is a very long "A to B" drive.We're up at 9.00 and head back to "Yesterdays" for some breakfast and head west.

We detour to Ashfall Fossil Beds in Nebraska; 11.8 million years ago a "super volcano" erupted in Idaho and the subsequent ash ejection covered everything downwind. Buried in what was a small lake are the fossilised remains of hippos, horses and other mammels. These are being excavated and are now housed in a large viewing gallery. Fairly interesting and it breaks up the journey.

We end up in Wendy's for "lunch" (oh yey...) in Grand Island on the I80 (hey look, there's Fort Cody Trading Post) then push on to Denver arriving at 20.00.

A return visit to Ruby Tuesdays for a steak and some beer (pretty good actually) and it's off to bed.
