Day 5 Monday (Final Day)

I drove west from Kearney to Colorado via Cheyenne, Wyoming. I'm tired of radio so I see if there are any CD's in sound system. There are two-Jersey Boys and Selected Marches. Jersey Boys is not one of my favorite CD's for technical reasons. After one round through the marches I go back to radio. The early sports talk shows deal with Texas defeat of Nebraska. Get over it, folks-you lost. At 10:00 MDT the conservative talk shows begin. I listened to Rush Limbaugh for a while. His format is a combination of Adult Fairy Tales (designed to scare adults) and rumor mongering. After 30 minutes I turned that off and enjoy the quiet.
Just after 11:00 MDT I pulled into Sidney, Nebraska. Sidney is the home office and mother store for Cabela's, which is Mecca to "Fishermen, Hunters, and Outdoorsmen." I started in Central time so 11:00 is noon to my stomach. I stop-guess where-at a Runza outlet for lunch. It's early. There are two couples and me and we all got senior citizen discounts. The Runzas are just out of the oven and it just doesn't get better than that. I have a second one. As I pass Cabela's their camp ground and parking lot are both full and this is before noon. In Minnesota the second most visited site after the Mall of America is the Cabela's south of the Twin Cities on I-35.
I hit Cheyenne in a rain storm. It's the only bad weather of the whole trip. I visited my mother who lives in a retirement home there for an hour and then headed south for Denver. There isn't much traffic so I made good time. After leaving I-70 and entering C470, anther multi-lane highway, I encountered the only accident of my entire trip. Two cars collided and one went over an embankment and killed two people. One car is still on the side of the road. This is within 15 miles of my house.
After driving 876.6 miles from Jackson, Minnesota, to Littleton, Colorado, I pulled into my garage. It was a wonder trip. I saw so many people and things went smoothly although I'm really don't want to go anywhere for a while. Let people come to me.
