Stops, in order

The day

  1. charge

    Cabela's Original Flagship Store + Supercharger

    Sidney exit 59. World's first Cabela's (still operating). Worth 30 min.

  2. charge

    Sterling Supercharger

    Last meaningful charger before the climb.

  3. navigation

    Denver (Mile High), arrival

    5,280 ft. Watch for unhitched-RV gusts off the Front Range.

  4. sleep

    Cherry Creek SP

    Prairie meets foothills. Look west for tomorrow's climb.

Charging plan

Where the electrons come from

  • Tesla

    Sidney NE, Cabela's Supercharger

    Right outside the original Cabela's flagship, 8 stalls + retail walkabout.

  • Tesla

    Sterling CO Supercharger

    Last NE/CO border-area stop. Top off, climb to Denver burns more than the math says.
