Alda NE heading East

So we have just left the KOA in Doniphan NE and we are heading to Kansas City MO to get an old cache so that our team can complete a challange cache in Ohio. Long Story but I won't go into it here. We plan on making a few stops along the way to see some more roadside attractions so I will blog those then. We got a late start this morning (let the kids sleep in a bit and made pancakes for breakfast so we are a bit behind) so we are not sure where we will land tonight. We are going to try to make it to St. Louis MO with an ETA in Columbus sometime tomorrow, but we will see.

Just made a quick gas/photo stop in Milford NE to see the wooden teepee hotel-now defunct and largest covered wagon. Campground Wooden Teepees http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/3773
World's Largest Covered Wagon http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/846 Gassed and on our way to Lincoln NE

UPDATE: So arrived in Nebraska City NE to see the Tombstone in Shape of Desk http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/10950 and John Brown's Cave and Secret Tunnels http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/14639 and on the way to get onto Interstate 29, we passed through the corner of Iowa and saw the Sapp Bros Giant Coffee Pot http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/9673 The secret tunnels were part of the underground railroad and was the only stop in NE. It was cool. The Tombstone was neat but as stated above everyone just wants to go home so the stops are shorter and not as much fun as before :( We are now in Missouri on our way to Kansas City.

UPDATE: So we stopped twice in Kansas City- once in Kansas City Kansas for a cache to claim Kansas, and once in Kansas City Missouri to get a cache for Randy's cache challange. Boy is it HOT outside. Yikes, the sign said 93 degrees!!! Now back in the RV to head to Kindgom City MO to camp for the night. We sure do cross the Missouri River a lot on this trip. The river is really flooded in spots. This will be our last night of camping, family time and vacation before we hit Columbus sometime tomorrow night. :( We are staying at the Hanson HIlls Campground. We hope to have a fire and cook outside tonight.
