Heading Home

We left about 8:00 Thursday morning with the Leaches and Blanchards with Minden, Nebraska as our destination.  It was hot (still) so we headed for the restaurant's lounge for drinks and Mexican appetizers and dinner selections.  Since we were settled in for the night, all we had to do was visit.

Friday morning we all toured Harold Warp's Pioneer Village for a few hours.  The night before a restaurant employee gave us a brief talk about the museum's ghosts that were being studied by paranormal experts for a TV show.  Supposedly Building 13 was a hot spot, so Kathy Blanchard and I paid very close attention to every little creak and sound while we were there.  Nothing!  Our favorite exhibit was the old motorhome and for the ladies - the china collections.

About 10:00 we all had milkshakes and then finished our touring in the main building that was supposedly one of the cooler places.

For Larry and me, this had to be at least our third visit to the Village.  We were a little disappointed in its maintenance upkeep.  The quilts and needlework displays are stapled - a big NO NO, which greatly decreases any value the items may have.

At 11:00 we had to vacate the campground, so said a last good-bye to Carlos, Rosemary, Gene and Kathy.  They're headed for Colorado, while we took off for Cabela's in Sidney.

After spending several hours looking for and trying on walking shoes, I found a pair.  No one will miss me walking the road while I'm wearing them!

Saturday we drove from Sidney to Lyman, Wyoming, for the night.  Sunday we drove to Winnemucca.
Our AC in the trailer is out, but the fan helps somewhat.  At least it cools off at night.
