June 15, day one of the great adventure. It stared out a little slow because our electricity was out in the morning and it took us a little longer to get away. We were up at 5 am and on the road at 7:15, not fast, but OK. It was a very good driving day, overcast with some rain, traffic was not heavy and everything worked as it should. Stopped for fuel and breakfast in Kingdom city, early, and a couple other short rest area stops and pulled into Minden Ne. a little before 7 pm. Staying at the Harold Warp Pioneer Village camp ground and will go though the village tomorrow....30 buildings "showing man's progress since 1830". Talked a lot about Brinkley, the family, and our lives. Decided we must be the most fortunate two people in the world. God has blessed us in many many ways(but I can still only type with one finger). Things look super green and clean. Lots of water setting around, but the sun came out in the late afternoon. The rivers and streams all look to be at flood stage and there is water setting in the fields......they have had lots of rain.
