This is really amazing. I can’t write everything down which I have experienced so far today, but it’s been an amazing journey. I’m going to keep it short as I have to go again. Way behind schedule, but who cares right? Haven’t even made it over the Missouri yet. Right now I’m at a Starbucks in Grand Island, NE. That Starbucks is like 10 miles from the Interstate. It’s the closest one. I love their Internet connection. It’s so good! It’s really windy outside. You have to watch out you don’t get blown away. This town has lots of traffic! Construction all over the place.
Earlier stopped at an old Pony Express Station in Gothenburg. Then came the Great Platte River Road Archway. It’s a museum which puts you back in time. You start off with pioneers and their wagons traveling the US. You learn about the Indians. As you travel through time, you come back to the early roads and then the Interstate system. Absolutely beautiful. Well done. I love this kind of stuff. Traveling back in time, hearing old stories, learning about those times. I will post pictures hopefully tonight. After that I visited the Nebraska Firefighter Museum. That was so cool. There were four old fire trucks. It would be cool to drive around in one of those. :-) I even got to be a firefighter. I put on their gear. Well parts of it. That was fun.
Who knew all this stuff existed? Ok gotta go. Here are a couple pictures. I liked the old LIFE magazines they had in the Fort I visited this morning. Very interesting. Didn’t have my birth year though. And a picture of the archway from the outside.
