Nebraska!
Gothenburg
,
United States
Nebraska! This is a huge state! I thought that it would be all flat and farmland. Just outside of Wy we got to Nebraska and the wind started to howl. This made the driving difficult and the semi's flying by didn't help either. We stopped at a rest stop about
Halfway
through and had a snack and the kids got to run. We are traveling around 260
Miles
a day from here on out, so the driving is difficult when the winds are powering and the weather has been blazing hot, 99 today. We pushed on through and made it the
Gothenburg
, NE. We were hot and decided a pool and hookups would be great. We arrived at the
Gothenburg
KOA. We made reservations on the way and the person taking the reservations was really nice and helpful on the phone. Located just a block off HWY 80, we drove up to the KOA. We drove up the the registration desk, that is located next to the gas pumps, the "office" is the convience store next to the gas pumps. We didn't know what to expect. We just wanted a pool and a/c ! We were given our spot and directions. What a nice
Surprise
..! We drove around the back of the gas station and over a little bridge that spans a creek and back into the woods. The campsites are large spaces with green grass and tall shade trees! This is great. The only sound you heard was the wind in the trees and it had a large thick border of trees that blocked the hwy noise and view of traffic. The pool was clean and the restrooms were spotless. We don't have one complaint, this is a little hidden gem off the HWY!
The kids swam and played in the park. After dinner they went back to the park and played till dusk. Dusk and time for sleep came an hour early as we now are in MTN time. Off we go again tomorrow for another 260 mile trek, we hope the wind will die down and the driving will be easy.
