Currently between Kearney NE and Omaha. He'll be stopping in or before Omaha, and may be taking a detour to visit his parents in SD tomorrow. He had no cell service in Western NE, which is why he wasn't calling or texting anyone, lol.

Re: tips for my 1900 mile trip
I could have made it home yesterday morning, but I chose to visit my parents, and then stay at my girlfriends last night. I just got home a couple hours ago. The trip couldn't have went better. I'll be posting more shortly, I have 400+ pictures to go through and write all about my experiences. Stay posted.
