Day 7 - Lincoln NE, and Yankee Hill Wildlife Management Area - Mon Aug 9 2021

After a sleepless night it was a late start, and we simply drove down highway 80 to Lincoln, Nebraska. 80 is straight as an arrow, with hardly a bend, for 100s of miles. Fortunately we had a story to listen to to keep us away. Lunch was a great salad (thanks Jane!) Near a little lake. 

 





We also had a a shower! Obviously we don’t have photos - you’ll have to trust me on that one!


In Lincoln we took in the Sunken Gardens and the Rose Garden - the former were beautiful, but we were a bit late in the season for the latter. But it was hot - around 110F (43.3C) - even my beautiful fronds were wilting in this heat:


 




So we hightailed it out of there to Yankee Hill - a small lake south of Lincoln, where it was somewhat cooler (96F) and very quiet. Here’s me helping with the evening’s cooking:




 

 A peaceful night for all, with the van fully open and the wind blowing through. A good night’s sleep at last!

Day 24 - Shenandoah National Park - Thurs Aug 26 2021

Image
 Today was a day of driving, slowly, through acres and acres of trees along the backbone of the Shenandoah National Park, VA . As a vegetable I found this an extremely fascinating experience. There were so many beautiful trees and plants. But what did my Drivers think of it all? "Very nice, but a bit dull" - ye gods! Its at times like this I have to remember the kind of narrow thinking their species have, despite their other useful skills. It's astonishing to me how few trees or plants they can name. So, from all those hours of driving, we have the following small collection of photos: A small corner of the park (it is 105 miles long, and 10 or so miles wide). The big insight from my Drivers? "Aren't there a lot of trees?!" d'uh! The obligatory self-serving selfie from the summit of Hawksbill Mountain , the highest point in the entire park: On their way back to the van were very excited to get close to this oversize tick-breeding rabbit wannabe.

Day 6 - Sun Aug 8 2021 - Loveland Walmart to Lake McConaughy, NE

Image
  Loveland Walmart was a relaxed morning, Toby did some computer stuff, Jane chatting to Emma back in the UK. Then off we set for the drive to Lake McConaughy, NE - an old haunt where my drivers used to windsurf some 30 years ago.   On the way we did The Stinky - I was of course able to assist and provide the needed guidance, direction and steady hand expected.  ‘Big Mac’, as its known, is the largest lake in Nebraska, about 5 miles wide and 12 long, with big white sandy beaches. Its also really hot! We squeaked in at 17:00 and it was still 99F - luckily we got shade under a tree:    There are over 10 separate campgrounds in the park, each hosting maybe 60 - 100 sites - not like 3 decades ago, apparently, when this was just a wild untamed area with dirt roads and rattlesnakes!). But we got a lovely quiet area all to ourselves. I wonder why? Who cares - off for a swim:  The water was nice and warm, the white sand really really soft, almost like sugar....
