After driving for several hours - I really thought I was safe and then it hit me - a steady wall of water that soaked right through my motorcycle jacket. It had been a waterproof motorcycle jacket but after 2 winters in California, I guess it rinsed out all the waterproofing. My rain overpants were good but my boots - soaked right through to my socks. I guess I was doing pretty well having gotten nearly a week on the road without getting soaked.
The rain stopped as I got into the next little town, Gordon NE. I turned right off Hwy 20 onto Main St and found this True Value. Super friendly clerk helped me find some Scotchguard and pointed me in the right direction for a coin-op laundry.
Nice little store with loads of goods - the usual thing you would expect to find in this type and size of store with friendly service. read more
