Good Morning!
We spent the night in Big Springs, Nebraska at McGreer Camper Park which was advertised as a working farm as well as an RV campground. Joyce thought this would be fun for Marc because he is a farmer at heart, but she was not prepared for a cattle farm that lies right alongside of the route I-80 West! The flies were the first clue that this was a working farm! The pics don't really do it justice. But, as we are discovering, there are always positives when you are RVing! The farmer's wife, Nita, was lovely and tried to find every possible way to provide us a discount! Also, she talked to us a bit about their farm and the industry as a whole. Since we had passed a stockyard down the interstate, it was fascinating to hear more about the process of raising the cattle and getting them to market. She also brought us a dozen fresh eggs for breakfast.
Headed to Colorado today! Our campground in Eagle, CO is at an elevation of 8500 feet! Yikes.
More tomorrow!

Hi guys. Sounds like you are experiencing life in multiple ways. Did Marc put his chaps on for you Joyce? Been busy at a workshop last 2 days. Gotta make the donuts. Enjoy and talk soon.
