Well, we’ve arrived!
I was going to call this post “Rendezvous Day 1”. But Rendezvous doesn’t officially start until Wednesday. Scott and I believe in being early!
Actually the area where we camp is so beautiful, that we just don’t mind being here a few extra days.
Yesterday’s drive went well. We left Council Bluffs by 1 pm and encountered no problems on our first leg of the journey west. I had anticipated arriving in North Platte around 7 pm taking in to account more frequent stops for gasoline and whatnot. But my estimations were terrible! By 5:30 pm we were arrived, settled in and wondering what to do with ourselves! We camped in a little RV park down by the Platte River, just 100 yards away. When I’d originally visited the website for the RV park, I got the GPS coordinates for the park, and it’s address. Oddly enough the address was located 3 miles from the GPS coordinates! I emailed the park to let them know their coordinates were wrong. They wrote back to assure me they would get that corrected. Guess what?!?!? The coordinates are right. The address is for mail purposes only!
After dinner, we played Cribbage for a while… and at 9:40 we went to bed!
This morning, we were on the road by 7:30 am After stops in Sidney for gas (ouch! 4.099 per gallon!) and in Cheyenne, Wyoming, for water, we got to our site at 1 pm.
Now we’re settled in, well on our way to getting things put away. It was hot up here when we got in, over 90. But NO humidity. It was almost pleasurable! Now, it’s 5:30, the sun is behind clouds, and the temps are dropping.
Not sure whether we’ll watch a movie tonight… or play more Cribbage!
More tomorrow!
