Kearney to Columbus NE, June 10
"...The roads were still impassible going out of Kearney, and I followed the railroad tracks to Grand Island, and even then I had to walk over several short stretches where it was sandy, and every half mile I had to dismount for the crossing of the wagon road, the highway being in such vile condition that its dirt was piled upon the tracks so that I could not ride through it...."
Waypoint Today: Wyman rode into Grand Island along the Transcontinental RR track. The "wagon road" that paralleled the tracks later became the Lincoln Highway, then US30.
