Eastbound beyond these sites is a lot of driving. Nebraska is a step above Kansas for a cross-country drive, but not a big step. The eastern two-thirds of the state are flat instead of the entire state.
We were going to make a stop just over the border in St. Joseph, Missouri to see the Jesse James museum and the house where he was shot dead. The Pony Express also has a museum that is the beginning of the Pony Express trail that wound its way west between St. Joseph and Sacramento, CA for the two years it ran. St. Josephs is actually a great historic city (http://www.stjomo.com/historical_museums.aspx) and worth the stop.
From St. Joseph's it was a short drive home and the end of the saga. We covered eight states in about 10 days. Too much, too fast, but it gave us something to look forward to in the future - going back to some of the better places we saw.
