Day 41 - North Platte, NE to Greenwood, NE

We traveled across most of Nebraska today. Nice things happened. It was a good day.

The Route
We drove 250 miles from North Platte to Greenwood on I-80.

About the Day
We left North Platte in sunshine with the possibility of catching up with the rain showers that moved across the state yesterday.

Site #28

Penny's Diner ...
We've looked longingly at Penny's Diner each time we've stayed in North Platte, but never stopped there until today. It's a 50's style diner that's open 24 hours a day. Our breakfasts were good, the experience was fun.

The Trip ...
Traveling on this part of I-80 is boring. The landscape consists of gently rolling fields. The scenery is enhanced by color contrasts brought on by weather changes. The highway is well maintained.

The Archway (a.k.a. The Great Platte River Road Archway or Kearney Arch) was designed by a Walt Disney Team as a museum of and monument to Nebraska's and the Platte River valley's role in westward expansion.
You can't miss the Archway Memorial

We could see weather develop in the distance.
We're dry at the moment,
but someone's getting wet.
Something's brewing to the north
as we pass through Lincoln.

The Campground
We made it to Pine Grove RV Park and Campground and got set up before heavy rain showers arrived.
This picnic shelter is next to our site.
Site #107

The campground is OK. The sites are close together and the access roads are narrow. The grounds and facilities are nicely maintained.

Tomorrow
We'll continue on I-80 into Iowa tomorrow and may stop at Amana.

  1. Great post full of useful tips! My site is fairly new and I am also having a hard time getting my readers to leave comments. Analytics shows they are coming to the site but I have a feeling “nobody wants to be first”.
