Got out good and early, by 8:00, knowing we had quite a long day's drive ahead of us. After once again negotiating the 6 miles of broken pavement back to the main road, the rest of the drive was on mostly two-lane country highways, but with very little other traffic on these back roads. Picked up gas in a small town, of which there are few and far between, and didn't find a "breakfast" place until nearly lunchtime. We were starving by then! Had a couple of burgers, not much else of a choice, but they were the best home-made burgers we'd had in a long time, in a little place called Coffee House Cafe in Elgin, NE. Another stop to shop, and we finally made our way to Southwood Conservation Area, a compact place with water and electric at a reasonable price, and one that will hopefully afford us the opportunity to wash the vehicles and get caught up on laundry. It's been such a long time since we've had easy access to water, the dirty clothes have really piled up! Only a couple of miles on a good dirt road and we were there. The horse camp only had 5 sites to choose from, but they were all empty so we had our pick. Chose a long pull thru that gave us everything we look for in an ideal spot. The only problem here is that they have hitching rails mostly tucked away in the woods, but there are also some trees around for a highline, so we put one up right next to the RV on a rather manicured lawn, so chances are we'll have to move them later in the week so as not to completely trample the grass. Before long we were set up, satellite and all, and settled in for evening.
