Crossing the Plains

At a rest stop in NE. That is our camper in the background of the limestone sculpture.

Union Pacific's Bailey Yard

We're in North Platte NE. spending a few days sightseeing. The Guinness Book of World Records certifies Bailey Yard as the worlds largest railroad yard, with a mind-boggling array of more than 315 miles of track, accommodating up to 150 trains a day. Pretty awesome view watching the Hump yards send cars to their respective Locomotives for dispatching to their destinations.

Deer in camp.

Deer in our camp site. They really must be use to humans, because they were not afraid of us.

Little Nugget........

Nice little place Don and Diane took us to our first night in Illinois, here you can cook you own steaks! They had fantastic chicken wings too! We leave this morning and should be in Iowa  this afternoon.

Good Bye Indiana, Hello Illinois

We had another music night in Goshen and the FROG rally has ended. That was a quick two weeks and a lot was done on the campers by the factory trained workers of Forest River. They do a awesome job. We left Saturday morning and arrived in Danville  Illinois late Saturday afternoon to visit friends. It was another bad travel day as it rained hard during the drive . Again we were traveling in a  fierce rain storm, moving about 35mph or less with the flashers on.

Music night

Tonight we had a band play after dinner. Janet loved it as they played the 50's and 60's. The band was called the Bullfrogs! How appropriate for a FROG Rally.

Feeding Frenzy!

The Rally at Goshen is getting big! About sixteen hundred are fed in this building. It is getting to be quite a feat to service everyone. They actually ran out of food the first night. The food has been good, not as good as last year, but good. We get breakfast every morning and three dinners during the week, Tuesday and Thursday dinner on our own. Yesterday we went on a bus trip to the Cedar Creek  factory and learned how they make our camper. Janet loves the new Cedar Creek Champagne model and wants it for her birthday, I fear she may be disappointed.
