Omaha, NE

Spent last night in North Platte, NE. Linda got to get her Walmart fix for the week.

Today we made a stop at the Great Platte River Road Archway. I was not sure about stopping but Linda has wanted to visit it since last year when we passed through moving Manda to Oregon. They do a nice job of telling the story of people passing through the area on their way to the west coast. Beginning with the Mormons, the Oregon Trail, and the Lincoln highway. Not a whole lot of depth to the story but I thought it was well worth the 1 1/2 hours we spent there.

We are spending tonight with Cabela's. It cost us more than if we had just gone to a campground but I guess that's why they let you hide out in the back parking lot.

We have gotten our best mileage ever, between going down hill through most of Nebraska, and a good tail wind out of the west, we managed to get 9.4 mpg for the last 650 miles.

Weather has been good today, I do see some thunderheads in the sky around us, but still sunny where we are. Temps in the 80's today, sure feels good to be able to run around in shorts and T-shirts again.
