NEBRASKA

Sat night June 11-

We spent the night in York Nebraska.  We woke up to a chilly 67 degrees. Windy in  the state of Nebraska.  We ate lunch in Broken Bow, Nebraska. 

Sunday – June 12-

Traveling across the state of Nebraska, you can go for miles and not see anyone.  The land is flat at times an then there will be rolling hills.  There are lots of wind mills.  We got off the interstate and traveled highway 2 so we could see the countryside. The eastern part of Nebraska is huge acres of corn fields and after we passed the central part it became the sand hills.  The corn went away and it became all beef country.   We saw hundreds of trains, very few houses and  a few rodeo arenas. 

We arrived in Alliance, Nebraska and Boyd discovered that we had a tire getting ready to blow.  We were so thankful we made it across the

plains without trouble.  That could have been a disaster.  We found a “Mr. Tire” but it was closed.  We could not make it to a  campground.  Time for Marsha to pray.  Beside the Mr. Tire was a convenience store and a rough, leather skinned, but kind hearted Harley rider named Jim Butcher came to our rescue.  He was a tree trimmer by trade  but offered to let us stay in his garage parking lot where he worked on vehicles on the side.   We hooked up to his electricity and had a good night’s sleep.  Mr. Tire guys installed the new tire while we took Jim to breakfast.
