Mid September Traveling

Heading to Council Bluffs, IA and on to Alma, NE

The next morning, I continue my journey west back to the Denver area.  I head south to highway 30.  Once on highway 30 I take it all the way to Council Bluffs.  There is a large amount of wind and truck traffic on the way there so it a pretty intense drive.  I get into Council Bluffs around 8 pm, take a shower and just called it a night. 

The next day I decided to play some cards.  I get into a 1/3 no limit holdem game and play for a few hours.  I run my pocket Kings into pocket Aces and lose and that is the end of the live cards for me.  I have one more beer and then just chill for the rest of the evening hoping to get an early start the next morning. 

The next morning, I realize I need to dump the tanks and find a free dump station at a rest stop just south of Council Bluff on I-29.  I head on down there and pull into the south bound rest area and there is no dump station.  Bummed I look across the highway and see there is another rest stop on the northbound side.  I make the 3 mile round trip to the other side and success!  The dump station is there and open.  I dump the tanks and head west into Nebraska.  The route is highway 34 to I-80 to highway 6/34.  As it approaches 5 pm, I stop and look online to find a place to stop for the night. 

I need some water and it is around 90 degrees so I find a cheap RV park with full hookups.  Alma has a nice RV park with a spot available for $27 a night.  I plug in, crank the AC, fill the water tank and take a nice cold shower.  I meet a couple of older gentleman who are on their way to Florida for the winter.  After dinner, I jump on the RV park's wifi and watch a couple of movies.  Tomorrow, on to Colorado!!!!!!
