Hello all. We are alive and well and in Lincoln, Nebraska tonight; for being on the road for over 2 weeks now, we are doing great! The kids have become real road warriors and our time on the road has been profitable even if they are not in school. For example: 1. We visited the New Mexico Natural History Museum in Albuquerque for a day and the kids learned alot about dinosaurs and much of the Southwest's natural history. (they had some really great exhibits, and this was part of Sam's 6th birthday present) 2. They are learning a great deal about the different states in our huge country and all of the culture that goes with each state. 3. They learned alot about caring for horses while in Colorado. 4. We have passed many (working) ... read more

We started out bright and early, passing sorghum, dried up corn, sunflowers, and alfalfa. There are more trees along the rivers and the streambeds. We saw hay in big loaves, not round bales or rectangular bales. Later, we passed real, old-fashioned haystacks just like Monet's (?). Rich didn't think anyone could find a needle. We wonder why there are so many round rolls of hay that are obviously several years old and left to rot. What happened? We passed into Central Time Zone. We checked our cell phones and it took about ten minutes for them to change. We passed Buffalo Bill's ranch in North Platte. We stopped in North Platte to get fuel, so we visited America's 20th Century Veteran's Memorial. It was very nice. Nice statues, nice bas relief sculptures, and commemorative bricks. ... read more

Today we're having a down day and not traveling anywhere. We went to Wal-Mart to get groceries and cleaning supplies. Nancy asked the clerk a bunch of questions. Here are the answers. Yes, some of the Cabela family still lives in town. The house where they started their mail-order business is going to be a museum filled with mounted trophy animals. Almost everyone in town and in the surrounding towns either works at Cabela's or Wal-mart. The mill is closed now. It used to do something with hops that were shipped in from Washington. The town is doing well and hunting season is their busiest time, with Cabela's having ten hour shifts. After lunch, we took a walk aroung the 3 1/2 acre pond and went to the tourist office. Rich asked how much snow ... read more
