Rocky Mountain Race Week Day 5: The Reality of "Drive Days" With NO Interstates (Denver to Kearney)
What happens here
The route transitions from mountainous terrain to flat, open plains as they enter Nebraska. The driver notes the long, straight roads and the lack of high-octane fuel (91 octane or higher) at multiple gas stations. Most stations only offer 87 octane, sometimes with ethanol. He drives through several small, rural towns like Sedgwick and Julesburg, observing their unique characteristics, including an old service station and large grain silos. He mentions seeing a "huge state penitentiary" in Sterling, Colorado during a previous trip.
Goal: Continue the drive through Nebraska's flatlands and find suitable high-octane fuel
