Having just made that trek coming from Washington State back to Kansas, Colin has my sympathy and good thoughts all the way. Nebraska is the second boringest state to drive across (the first is Montana) simply because there is so much of it, and so much is flat. Tell him to be sure and stop every couple of hours to get out and stretch and get a fresh cup of coffee (or a cold drink--it's HOT there this time of year!) Best wishes for the rest of his trip; and no more falling asleep driving!
