Day 26 another long ride

Day 26
Another loooooong day. Somewhere north of 450 miles again today. We ended up last night in I believe it was Big Springs NE. Today we rode again to keep ahead of the storms. We did stop in a town called Gothenburg to see the Pony Express Museum. They had moved an original Pony Express station to the town park to make a museum. Pretty interesting.

On this same stop there was a sod house displayed and some interesting barbed wire sculptures.
Blow this up, it's kind of neat. Made from barbed wire.
Seems we didn't get a picture of the sod house. I was sure we did. After all, we got this next one and it was right outside the sod house......
Blowing this one up might help...but I doubt it!
Anyway....after this it was just more riding. A lot more riding.
I think, besides the storms, at this time we are probably a bit like horses in that when they know it's time to head for the barn, that's what they do. I think we see home getting closer and it's time to get there.
