After starting out in Council Bluffs, IA, we headed for home.We got as far as North Platte, NE, and when I went to start Bob’s Infinity SUV, I couldn’t get the key to turn. Unfortunately we were the 4th car in the caravan, and the other 3 cars had
already gotten on Interstate 80 by the time we figured out we had a problem and the next exit was about 15 minutes drive. Bob called AAA and they sent out a locksmith, but he decided that he couldn’t fix it because there was a possibility of messing up the cars computer and it would be costly to replace. After lot’s of discussion we decided that the rest of us would continue to Boulder, and Bob would stay overnight in North Platte, and get the car fixed and then drive it to Snowmass on Monday. We had lunch at Ole’s in Paxton.
The rest of our drive was uneventful, except for the huge detour we took because the previous day a cloudburst washed two interstate 80 bridges out and we had to go way out of our way to get home. Also we had a Dairy Queen stop in Sterling. We made it home about 7:00pm Sunday evening.
I got an update that Bob had trouble getting his car fixed, so he rented a car and was home by 6:00pm Monday night.
We had a great bike ride, but it is good to be home!
