Wow.

My only experience of driving through Nebraska (December 1980) was ...
On I-80 the snow is falling
sideways
my windshield wipers are
frozen to the windshield and are useless, so
follow a truck
between reflectors on poles which try to tell us where the road is
because otherwise you're stuck.


We didn't get stuck.


Now, I wanna' go back and see the good stuff!  :-D

Thank you for the review!!!
