It has been a quiet couple of days as we have gone across Nebraska. Let me just say, I had no idea there were so many cows in the US or that there was so much prairie space. Randy heard on the radio today that there are 3 times as many cows in Nebraska then there are people and we believe it. Plus they have these enormous feed yards. Sorry Troy, but they are disgusting!! It makes me question my decision to eat beef.
Yesterday we drove down from South Dakota and then across part of Nebraska on the Oregon Trail. For those of you that played the Oregon Trail as a video game when you were a kid, we did not die of dysentery nor get attached by Indians. Our most notable stops here were Scottsbluff and Chimney Rock which were key landmarks for pioneers as they headed west.
Today we are in Lincoln, Nebraska where I visited the International Quilt Museum. It is an amazing place which is part of the University of Nebraska. Tomorrow we have scheduled an oil change for the Jeep so that has determined our next stops. We will move on to Omaha, Nebraska for a couple of nights. Plan to visit the Strategic Air Command Museum just outside of Omaha and then do the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha on Saturday.
So far, we have been fortunate to avoid any of the major storms but tonight are supposed to have severe thunderstorms, hail, and high winds here. We will see…..
