Success!

.... Well, kinda. After being a little behind our our plans, we worked really hard in Pawnee Co. Nebraska yesterday and only have one Rhinichthys to show for it. But that's better than none. There is no water out here. The Platte River was reduced to three tiny channels that were no more than a few inches deep. On to northeastern Nebraska today, then due west!

On the road!

We finally hit the road yesterday and stopped off at Finger Lakes State Park last night to rest our eyes. Great night for camping and the campsite was pretty quiet (except for Dave!). It is still 6 hours to our first sight for the trip near Pawnee City, NE. The forecast calls for cooler temps (96F) and wind, which is a welcome reprieve. But first, we have to get there.

     The trip up yesterday was pretty uneventful. We got out of town about 4:30am and finally got to a campground around 9. We only stopped in St. Louis for a few hours to stretch our legs and sit down for dinner. Traffic was slow, and it turns out our A/C works better when you're moving- a nice thing to have when it 100+ outside. We got our stove working last night, so we are set to get away from civilization! Pictures and more to come soon!
