| Amana Colonies (summer of 2010) |
We've finally gotten back up on the road. We left Monday as planned with overnight stops at Cabela's in Sidney, NE; Kearney, NE; and Greenwood, NE. Other than shopping at Cabela's, there's nothing that we'd consider a destination stop. And even though Cabela's RV park in Sidney doesn't get very high reviews, it was probably the best RV park we stopped at over those three nights. Doesn't make the others bad, but there's nothing to draw us back to any of these RV parks.
After four days of traveling, we're spending the weekend at Amana RV Park just outside the Amana Colonies historic area (near Amana, IA). We were here back in 2010. Hot then; hot now.
Plans are to move further east Sunday. If all goes well, we'll be back in Shipshewana and start the trailer service rodeo on the 20th. Head to Virginia on Oct 2nd if there are no surprises with the trailer (or truck, our health, etc). That's the plan (and we've had a lot of revisions to plans over the last couple of years).
Anyway, we're fine. Of particular note, I finally gave in and bought a yearly subscription to an online RV travel planning site. I've resisted this for years as we don't normally have a good internet connection as we travel the country. Hard to use an online travel planning site when you don't have consistent internet connection. But I had to as my offline software was so old and the RV parks listing was so outdated, that I was planning with both a laptop and the smart phone (when internet connection was working), anyway. I would have moved earlier if they'd done something similar to US Military Campground Directory where they download software on your computer so that you can use it even when you're offline. I'll still keep the old travel software in use, though. It's turns out that it's our most reliable historical document of where we've been and how many miles we've put on the trailer.
That's it for this week. Thank's for dropping in and checking on us. Until next week, David
