First stop entering Nebraska, I 80, Exit 20, “Welcome” Center. While I’m traipsing all over the brush taking photos of the wildflowers, David is walking E T in the parking lot. He yells over to me, ” Hey! Are you paying attention to the signs?”
What the heck is a Bull Snake???? What kind of a Welcome is this???
Thinking a good stop for the night might be in a people populated area vs “Bull Snake Country”, we spent the night at Nebraska’s Number One Tourist Attraction, Cabela’s RV Park ($31.06 full hook up). Sidney, Nebraska is the home of Cabela’s World Headquarters and first store. More than a million people a year, from all over the world visit the store. According to one of the brochures I picked up, it really is listed as the Number 1 Tourist Attraction in Nebraska!!
In the morning we drove across the street to a “do it yourself” RV wash, then to Walmart. We were in a “metropolis”!
There are places that we would like to stop in Lincoln and Omaha, but have put them on our list for next time. Being retired and traveling the way we do, time is of no essence. We had planned a VERY ambitious 14 week trip. After traveling 10 of the last 12 weeks, we are both in agreement, we miss home.
So we sail on through Nebraska, in two days, almost 500 miles. The scenery drastically changed from rocky and dry to green and plush. The air is fresh and clear, no more residual smoke from wild fires in the west.
Next Stop Iowa
