We enjoyed a lovely site at this campground at Merritt Reservoir. While here we went to Smith Falls and crossed the pedestrian bridge over the Niobrara River part of the Cowboy Trail. Who doesn't love a waterfall? The nearby town of Valentine is where we stopped for lunch at the Peppermill Restaurant & Lounge for delicious burgers. We enjoyed sitting by the water at the back of our campsite. This was a nice relaxing stay. "The sunlight still shining, The water doesn't mind. It continues it's journey, Searching for it's destination."... read more

Howdy all from Valentine, Ne.! We made it here and it's wasn't too eventful yet.... We had to make a gas stop in Broken Bow, Ne and Shayla (My Adorable 8yr) got out of the jeep and proceeded to say out loud, "Mom, What's that smell"?...... Well, My reply was "That's the smell of money to the peeps around here". Gotta love the smell of farm town, Ne.! I REALLY think I need to get her out of the city more often. LOL My poor butterfly antenna topper didn't fare so well.........it's wingless. I guess I will have to figure something out. We found our Hotel very easily. I was never so glad that it wasn't "The Angelic Ranch" of Yellowstone/Vacation 2008! AHHH...Air Conditioning, Internet, and Indoor plumbing, what a concept! We had a fabulous lunch ... read more
