Back on the road - heading SOUTH!

We had a great time in Minnesota - the Minnesota Arabian Horse Breeders Fall Fest weekend was warm, sunny and beautiful.  Ron & I enjoyed our Ringmaster duties and it was fun to catch up with our "horsey friends".  Time flew by, though, and the weather cooled considerably, so we knew it was time to head South.  I am sad that we weren't able to catch up with more of you.  Our friends and family are the things that we miss most on the road.

We wanted to take a different route to Colorado, so we headed down through Sioux Falls to Yankton, SD.  Another beautiful South Dakota State Park - Lewis & Clark Recreation Area.

This was our view from the front of our trailer.  We were one of maybe 3 in the campground, so it was like our own private lake.  There were some beautiful (and challenging) trails to hike.

The overlooks along the trail were awesome & there were plenty of benches to sit on to reflect & enjoy - or just take a break.

 

We would have loved to have stayed longer, but the nights were getting a little cool. So after enjoying this beautiful sunrise

we headed down through Nebraska with our destination of Grand Island.  It is nice taking the State Highways that pass through the small towns and give you more of the personality of the country you are passing through.  I didn't know that Norfolk, NE is the boyhood home of Johnny Carson!  We drove by his boyhood home (nicely preserved) on Johnny Carson Blvd.  Arrived in Grand Island, staying at a very nice KOA and look forward to seeing a few of the sights!  More about that later.
