Ok here’s what we did on our trip from Grand Island to Oglala today. We stopped at The Arch Museum in Kearney Nebraska and boy was it a great place to visit. This museum documents the history of the opening of the west. It started as most stories go with the history of the Natives and continued on to present day. There were stories about the pioneer’s struggles, the Native struggle against the pioneers, the gold rush to California and the rest of the west coast, as well as the Mormon trail. Then it went into the railroad story and how the iron horse truly opened up the west. It continued with the story of the Lincoln Hwy and how the President proclaimed and had built the I80 interstate that runs from Chicago to San Francisco. Such a fascinating place. They give you a point and shoot necklace that acts as your own personal tour guide thru the museum.
The museum spans all four lanes of traffic on I80 and it also has a radar gun located in the overlooking window (insider tip).
We finally ended up in Oglala and set up the RV. We have a water leak we discovered while pacing up this morning. I located the leak and I think (hopefully the right parts to repair it) had to do some Okie adjustments so we will see. We are here for the next 2 days so I will try and get some photos of Oglala tomorrow.
