Nah. It's not! :-)
If skipping Denver is a desire, and I can see that, then the zig south from
York to Salina would IMHO be the way to go. Since they extended the 4-lane,
US81 south from York is now a better road than US75 south from Omaha or the
roads south from Lincoln.
BTW -- what's that single county? Do I need to know for the next time I come
up your way? (I go north to York, then east on I-80 to get to Omaha).
