Happy Travels

CowI will now reveal the most foolish thought I’ve ever had in my entire life.  This particular ditty went through my brain before setting off for the drive across Nebraska and into Colorado:

I’m sure there will be plenty of Starbucks along the way.

Okay, I’ve never driven through the Midwest like this before, but how was I to know that there are places you can drive through for eight hours without anything to look at but farms, cows, and an occasional McDonald’s?

By the way, there is a really gross McDonald’s in Gothenburg, Nebraska if you’re interested in that sort of thing.

I am so going to write a story that takes place in the rural Midwest.  I haven’t decided on the story yet, but I’m afraid after this trip it’s inevitable.

    :) I’ve got a title for it! I’m still working on the “problem”!

    So what makes this McDonalds so bad? Enquiring minds would like to know! :)

    Well, just in case you’re planning a trip to the Gothenburg McDonald’s, be prepared for some dirt and grime. I’m not a McDonald’s fan to begin with, so add the gross factor and I was ready to get back in the car.
