DAY 9 – Council Bluffs, IA to Kearney, Nebraska.

Highlights from the day:  Father Flannigan’s Boy’s Town, interrupting a small town parade – notice the FLUTES, and both Charlie and Jay getting “tickets”:

Those cookies at the lower left hand corner have the Lincoln Highway emblem.  You’ll see more of that emblem later…
