Day 1: Nebraska | Birthplace of Kool Aid


After taking the first official "Over the Shoulder" shot of the trip from Scott's driveway we finally got on the road this afternoon and headed West from Omaha, NE.


The Road opens up to some wider views of Western Nebraska a ways outside of Omaha.

This inside-the-car pic shows the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument that spans I-80 in Kearney.



While the scenery was nice, I was most excited about driving through Hastings, NE, the home of Kool Aid!


During a gas stop in Brady, NE, we came across J.T. working in a scrap yard off the interstate. He agreed to let us take his picture as an early test for "The Project".



We pulled into North Platte for dinner and the best General Tso's Chicken I've ever tasted. Inside the restaraunt they had pictures of Air Force 1 from the President G. W. Bush landed nearby on 9-11. I can't think of many places that are further from terrorists and their "terra" than the middle of Nebraska.
