Day 3 June17 Left Minden about 8:15 for Custer SD and got here about 6;30 Mtn. time. Went though Scotts Bluff and saw Chimney Rock, both important land marks on the Oregon Trail. Made a couple wrong turn which necessitated us taking a few less traveled roads. You can't turn this thing around just anyplace. Saw a lot of prairie and then a lot more prairie........ It really is very pretty and you can't help wonder how the pioneers made it. I found the first thing I don't like about driving the RV. Strong wind. We drove much of the day in unusually strong winds even for this part of the country. Sustained winds of 50- 55 mph with gusts higher. Very difficult to keep this big sail in a lane. I hear it is hot at home......wanted you to know in was 62 in the RV this morning so I turned on the furnace for I while to take the chill off.
