Pine Bluffs, Wyoming, August 5 \u2014<\/strong> After leaving Cheyenne, I headed east on I-80 almost to the state line and then turned south to reach the Colorado-Nebraska-Wyoming corner<\/a>\u00a0and the highest point in Nebraska.

Before the trip, I asked the Nebraska Department of Roads if US 30 enters via the two-lane or I-80, since the signs contradict themselves; I was assured that the Lincoln Highway is the correct route.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
