My route is the more interesting US 6. [Crop/Zoom: 924x1195]

One such item of interest: the Linoma Lighthouse. [Larger: 2304x1728]

And soon into the big town on the ride: Lincoln. [Crop/Zoom: 824x552]

[Crop/Zoom: 2317x733]

[Crop/Zoom: 1193x1364]

Coming into Lincoln on US 6 West. [Larger: 2304x1728]

Not the best picture of the University of Nebraska from US 6. [Larger: 2304x1728]

A much smaller arch than the one we'll see in St. Louis. [Larger: 2304x1728]

Onto O St. [Crop/Zoom: 1296x1425]

O St. Including a Runza, which I would not learn about until trying it in Papillion later in the day. [Larger: 2304x1728]

[Crop/Zoom: 629x864]

I'd never heard of this, but it's one of the old named highways that predated the US highway numbering. [Crop/Zoom: 1072x1336]

[Crop/Zoom: 1175x1711]

[Larger: 2304x1728]

This is where I leave US 6 and turn north to catch US 34 back. [Crop/Zoom: 2157x839]

My first (known) travels on a Nebraska link or spur highway is the very-short 55K link. [Crop/Zoom: 571x804]

After a slow ride up 48th Street through lots of construction and people just not in any rush, I am at US 34, northwest of town. [Crop/Zoom: 667x935]

[Larger: 2304x1728]

A very poor attempt at a picture coming into Lincoln's downtown area from I-180.

And that's it for I-180. [Larger: 2304x1728]

To get back east, I took US 34, which is O St. again in Lincoln. [Crop/Zoom: 426x878]
