High Plains Drifters

We started the day in Lincoln Nebraska and drove west and ended up in the high plains.  Even though there were only a couple of  noticeable hills we started at 1,200 feet and ended up at 4,100 feet.  The drive was very un-prairie like.  There are lots of corn fields with trees and lakes.  The truck was working hard today partly because of the long long hills but also because of the heat.  It was over 35 degrees again today.  Kody got to ride in the truck again because in the canopy it was over 42.

We were going to stay east of here but when we got to the campsite there was very little in the area and the campsite was a long way from anything.  I am going to go barn hunting tomorrow and Kathie and James may want to walk somewhere.

We ended up in Sidney Nebraska.  We are at the Cabela's Campground.  Cabela's is a large outdoor store (think the CostCo of outdoor stores).  They sell clothing, camping supplies, guns, fishing equipment and boats.  They have an indoor boat show room.  We have visited a number of their stores and a few of the have campgrounds.  The campground here is the only one in town.   The campground is also between the local Cabela's and the head offices.

After dinner the sun was going down so I took a couple of pictures. 




We are here for a couple of days and then we will head to Oregon.
