Wow!!  Nebraska is FLAT!!  After being in the Rockies and spending time in a campground a mile high, it is kind of an adjustment.

We stayed in Holiday RV Park in North Platte, Nebraska last night.  It is a very small town and we didn't unhitch the car last night or tonight.  Last night we walked to a local diner for dinner and tonight I nuked our dinner and we stayed in. 

Tonight we are at Camp A Way in Lincoln, NE.  This campground is great for kids with a little water park, a jumping stage, a large floor chess game and a pool.  We are far away from those things tucked into the back of the park where it is quieter.  It is very hot here and the low tonight is expected to be in the 80's.  We will keep the AC on.

When we left this morning we passed the Wild Bill Cody Fort which looks like the worst kind of tourist trap but I had to take some pictures.  He had a ranch in North Platte and is a local hero.

In Kearney, NE we passed the Kearney Archway which is built over US 80 in honor of the pioneers.
It is more impressive than it looks here. 

We also saw a sign for a Cattle Brand Inspection Area and had to wonder if they were trying to catch cattle rustlers.

The best thing I have seen in Nebraska so far was a firefly.  I really miss those in Oregon.

  1. Can we write to our congress-peeps and have fireflies brought in? I've only seen them once in my life and they are a magical treat.
