Had another late start today. Had to wait for the Kansas City curfew. Couple of interesting things today. Here is one of them on I-29 in St. Joseph, Missouri.
Going north on I-29 there were several hundred thousand birds flying south. There were flying in groups of several hundred in loose "V" shaped formation. I have never seen that many birds flying together like that before. It went on like that for a good 20 miles (32 km). Really amazing thing to see. I tried to get photos of them for you but, unfortunately, they didn't come out.
Beautiful day temperatures in the 70s (20s C) in the middle of February in Nebraska!! On I-80 in Nebraska could see the smoke for a good 10 miles before I got to it. On the way two state troopers went flying past me. On the other side of an overpass was a grass fire. The fire department had one truck there working on it. The troopers got there just before I did. I was very lucky because I got through there before they closed the Interstate.
Stopped for the night at the Flying J truck stop in North Platte, Nebraska.
