The Trip Back West (Day 1)

   Monday we left Fairmont and started our trip back west.  We detoured to the town of Wesbrook to say good-bye to an aunt and then Hwy 60 which heads southwest to Sioux City.  The temp was 46 and the wind was biting and at least 30 mph.  We were in clouds and sprinkles until late afternoon  when the sun came out and the temp went up.  We stopped for the night in Kearney, NE 547 miles later.
   The road kill count for day one was:  two deer, nine racoons, five skunks, and five bodies too smashed to indentify.  Crossing the road is definately dangerous.
