What a fabulous country we have and so beautiful to see:
We left Elkhart Indiana to cross Interstate 80 taking about 3 days to get to Nebraska. We seem to bring with us along the way, thunder, lightening and even some tornado warnings.
I truly enjoy seeing our country and only wish we could spend more time seeing more as we pass through different areas. The above pictures were at a roadside historical monument showing the layers of granite there for hundreds of years. It was beautiful to look across the flat dry land to see such beautiful colors in the mountains. As we crossed Indiana and Iowa, we really saw what they mean about it being the Iowa corn state. Lots of small towns, large farms and beautiful crops.
As we traveled across Nebraska the change was very dramatic. Obviously near Iowa is all dark green corn. Nebraska is also a large farming area, beautiful green crops, Alfalfa, wheat, corn etc. As you start nearing Sidney they farm more wheat and have lots of oil wells.
We really enjoyed visiting our friends, Bruce and Darla Evertson in Kimball. They have a nice KOA right in town so it was great to be right near them. Darla and I played golf and we had 3 nights of dinner at their home. It was fun with their friends and just being able to visit. On Sunday, Bono, (Critch’s grandson) drove up from Boulder, CO and spent the night with us. He also enjoyed meeting Dar and Bruce and we had a great visit and birthday celebration with him too. (pictures too).
As we left Kimball we headed to Rock Springs, WY for the night and started seeing more oil wells and dry land as it is considered high desert. We only spent the night then drove on to Utah to Charlie’s RV service to see Vicki and Charlie. Both Critch and I truly enjoyed some of the spots we saw.
We arrived in Sunset, UT on Tuesday the 28th of July to have a few items fixed that we still hadn’t gotten resolved. We had a great time with Vicki and Charlie, went out to dinner twice and one night spent a great evening at their home. Evertson’s had given us some Alaskan King Salmon that Bruce had caught, so I thawed that out and we bar be qued at their home. Vicki and I enjoyed a great swim in the pool. Their home is beautiful as they continue to finish with their landscaping and yard. I spent the first day running around like a chicken as I wanted to get all our clothes laundered, marketing done, had the girls groomed etc., etc. Vicki and I decided we both wanted to see “Mamma Mia” and we so enjoyed the next afternoon at the movie; and what a great show.
We left there on August 1st and I drove all the way to St. George to spend 3 days there. I really like St. George as it’s such a clean and pretty city. The scenery there is fantastic with all the red mountains. It is a very growing area and has anything you could possibly want, close to Bryce Canyon, Zion etc. It’s also only 30 + miles to Mesquite. I ended up going to the movies on Sunday and saw “Step Brothers” and it was a waste of money. Don’t bother with that one.
We are now parked for 10 days at Outdoor resorts in Las Vegas, staying in Larry and Sandy’s lot until we can take the coach back to California. Will continue this blog as we enjoy our time here in Vegas.
