We traveled about 420 miles today to Kearney, NE, Kearney RV Park, $41/night, pretty over-priced even though it's convenient and the park is good, the "wifi" is non existent PLUS they charged us $5 for an extra person (Booker).  Oh well, not many choices here along this strip of I-80.  Denny finally let me drive today and it was a piece of cake.  You don't even know the trailer is back there with this new truck.  Nice and straight, low traffic just the way I like it.  That way we were able to travel farther than we normally would.

We enjoyed our stay at Amana Colonies.  It was Octoberfest there and being a German settlement, they really celebrate big time.  They have wonderful gift shops, woolen mills, bakeries, and smokehouse/meat shops.  I bought an authentic, hand made straw broom.  Can't wait to give it a try.

Denny, Lola, Leroy, Charlotte, Diane, Rick.  Missing are Les and Greg.

Rick and Jackie, Denny's youngest brother and wife at their home in Luzerne.  They prepared an absolute FEAST for our reunion.

It's cold here and a little rainy.  Definitely fall-ish.
