View of the day-Crews are moving north through Nebraska to South Dakota.

We folded up camp and started south, down the US83 highway...against a strong south wind.  Even though we normally pass through Nebraska a mere 70 miles to the east on US183, there seemed to be a big difference in the height of the hills.  They were a lot steeper...and where was that nice run of flat highway that we had on the 183?

We only had 170 miles to go and all day to get there.  We stopped for fuel in Thedford, and rolled on to North Platte, then over to Paxton, where we found a campsite right along the interstate.  After getting the camper set up, we waited for Lynn and Gerry Prevost to make it to the campground.

When they got set up, Gerry took his semi out to the farm and Al drove his truck out to pick him up.  They did a bit of work on one of the combines, while Marilyn went over to get caught up Lynn.  We all went to town for supper, then called it a night.

Tomorrow, we might see some dust...
