Nebraska

This morning we went to get our free breakfast and found out the restaurant did not open for breakfast until 11am so we had to pass as we wanted to hit the road early.

The landscape remained unchanged. As it is winter everything is rather gray. No green here at all. We passed by some snow in the ditches  along the way. Drove across the border into Nebraska around noon. The landscape got  hillier. It seemed that we were always either going up a hill or down.

We found a State Park south of North Platte and decided to call it a day.  The campground is on Lake Mahoney and is very pretty.

Campgrounds on Lake Mahoney

 There are campsite on both sides of the lake. We stayed on the closest side and can park here for $7.00 a night. We have no hook ups but there is a dump station so that is really all we need. There is supposed to be a storm coming in tonight. They really need rain in this area so it will likely be welcome.

Around 6 pm the camp host, who was parked across from us,  came to the MH to warn us that there was a tornado watch out and that there had been one that had  touched down across  the lake.  He told us to keep an eye out and if we saw anything we were to run for the building next door and he would come and unlock the building and the three of us would hide there until it passed over.  Anna and I spent the next couple of hours watching rain and hail and looking for tornados. Thank goodness none materialized.  Being in a tornado is definitely NOT on my bucket list.

Keep warm.
