Nebraska, Lincoln & Lyman Apr 19-26

Our next stop on the way home is Lincoln, NE to visit Kay's nephew Andrew and Lisa and their baby girl Braelyn. From Lincoln, we drove in bad wind to Sydney, NE where we spent the night in the Cabela Campground.  We did go spend some time in the big Cabela store. Then on to Lyman, NE where Kay's Dad lives.  We will park the camper in Dad's driveway for a few days.

This is Marty trying to get the yellow kayak back on the rack.  The wind was blowing out of the north about 40 mph and it broke the rail the kayak was resting on.  The kayak ended up hanging on my mirror.  Each time I got it up close to the rack again a big truck would come by and suck it down again.  I finally got it up enough to drive to the next exit where I could get it strapped up to drive again.  I hate Nebraska wind.  In fact I hate wind in general.

After we stopped in Sidney, NE for the night, we continued on to Lyman.  Along the way we stopped at Chimney Rock National Site east of Scottsbluff, NE. 

Chimney Rock was a stopping point for the wagon trains going west.

I got to mow Kay's Dads lawn.  This was the first time I ever had a chance to use a riding mower.  Had a lot of fun doing it.  In fact, I mowed a lot more than his lawn.

Now there is a happy camper.
