Hello again, this time from Gothenburg, NE!
Sorry about the mix up yesterday telling y'all that I was going to be in Denver. Apparently the GPS had other ideas!
So I uploaded some pics to my facebook page for those of you that have that, but if not here is the public link to the album. I couldn't post on here because we had to run after we ate lunch to able to get here at 6:30 tonight.
I just have to say one thing- Nebraska is flat, very flat, and the roads are straight and unimaginative......needless to say the ride today was BORING- well except for the great scenery and the 75 MPH speed limit!!
But, let me start with last night-
We stopped at a KOA outside of St. Louis and there was an interstate in back of us, and a train about 100 ft beside us. SO, needless to say that I got no sleep between the squealing brakes of the train and the horn. And another thing, this campsite was next to the Mississippi river and there were boats sounding all night letting the port know that they were coming up the river. Other than that, really nice showers, you can check out anytime you want, and we the camp host was nice.
We got in the car and headed into St. Louis to see the Gateway Arch, and then we left that crazy city for more open terrain. When we got into outer Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska, we knew we going into flat land. Corn fields were everywhere, along with cow pasture and some horses.
We decided to go to a nicer camp tonight that actually costs less than the KOA that we were originally going to be at- the only downside is that there is no internet! So this post with be uploaded late, sorry :(.
I am now sitting at our campsite listening to a train off in the distance (THANK YOU JESUS) and watching three colts play in a field next to us, life is great folks!
See you tomorrow, hopefully!
