606.3 Kimball RON - Memorial

Cheyenne WY to Kimball NE, June 6

"...It was raining a little when I left Cheyenne, and the roads were too heavy to ride. I took to the railroad again, and the railroad ties were not much better than the road...I got to Kimball, 65 miles from Cheyenne at 6:50 p.m."

Waypoint Today:  Wyman rode into Kimball along the Transcontinental RR tracks.  He likely sought lodging at the Wheat Growers Hotel, pictured here.  It is located at  

Southwest corner of 1st Street and S. Oak Street
