Whatever trevor

The train carried on hammering past all night long which wasn't a total disaster as it did drown the noisy family out (later found out that just down the road in north platte is a big transport station which routes trains all round the country). We set off again with overcast skies and quite cool weather. Managed to see some wildlife both alive and roadkill, personal favourite are the frogs trying to cross the road or the millions of  crickets that line the highways. It was also a nice change to nit actually be on the interstate.

We arrived at our first stop, sidney fifty miles away, after just three hours so stopped for a good old fat filled American breakfast. Here we discussed the plans for the next few days and decided it would be a great idea to try and gain a day in my by doing 360 miles over the next few days, possibly a stupid idea but time will tell!

Our next stop was in lodgepole where we met Trevor who jumped off the back of a truck and was also on his own cycling tour from fort Collins to Michigan. All he had however was a mountain bike that was stuck in 2nd gear and what appeared to be the biggest backpack in the world! We key him cycle on but caught up with him in the next town where we had another burger at burgies, a weird little place with a bowling alley.

After this we again parted ways so we could go get some much needed fruit and bite cream (jack and ben are covered in bites). However we again passed him along the way and thought that would be the last we saw oc him. We were wrong.

An hour or so later we see him fly past in the back of a truck, yet again getting a lift, if you're Reading this trevor good luck but stop cheating! Learnt a great new phrase off Trevor called 'trevorspeed'which means going slow and a phrase we will use a lot from now on.

We stopped one last time in a nice cafe In blumes where we met some nice old ladies and had a rest from the humid heat. The climate has changed a lot over our trip and we now seem to be in the hot humid bug infested part of America. Also everyone we have spoken to on the whole trip said that we would be going downhill by now and that it would be dead flat, well it isn't and you should all be ashamed of yourselves for lying!

We finally arrived in ogalalla where we found a campsite where jack and tom got an electric shock off the shower, brilliant. Met some lovely people there and even had a beer!
