Moving On to the West

We did make the opening of the new Wal Mart just west of Omaha at Exit 339. Great location. It was a very nice clean store and suprisingly enough, everything seemed to be going real smoothly.
Everyone was super friendly and bending over backwards to be of assistance for us to find things. The layout of the store was a little different, and they provided us with a store map at the door. They had cake, cookies and punch with the celebration, but the prices were normal and didn't get anything free or real bargains. We picked up everything on the list, and stopped for a Subway Sandwich on our way out. On the way home, we detoured and drove through Mahoney State Park. Looking at the campground. Don't think we can stop there, the sites just not big enough or located where our satellite will pick up a signal.
Took some pics of some mama turkeys and babies. Must have been a late hatch. Before returning to our campsite, we went to the south side of the Interstate and got a look at a motel that lost their whole roof and a convenience store that had a lot of damage from the storm.
On the way back to the RV Park we discovered another building with the whole side caved in and once again I count my blessings in escaping the damage that occured. We witnessed some beautiful sunsets while we were there too.
Yesterday we made our way west and stopped at the east Grand Island KOA...never again. Was really disappointed. Expensive and couldn't use the laundry or the water! Rusty brown, yuk! Rigs so close together that I felt we had to whisper in the bedroom and their bedroom slide where they slept was really close to our rig. Not real easy access and trees on part of sites that they wanted to put us in and then put us right beside an electrical pole and street light that if DH hadn't backed up, we would have hit getting in and out of the rig. Not good. Tonight we are at Windmill State Park Recreation Area at the Hwy 10 exit. A really nice park. Long enough Drive In sites. Not used to being this close to the road, but our slides and electric are on the drivers side next to the curb, so it'll be okay. Will be stopped here until Monday when we will make our way down into Kansas.
