Our next destination was to visit an 80-year old cousin whom I had not seen in many, many years. She has lived in Manhattan, KS most of her life, but lived a while in Columbus when her husband was overseas. We had a wonderful time with her and she was elated that we stayed with her a few days. I enjoyed hearing stories about my mother and grandmother's family when they lived on a farm near Comer Ga.
She has a granddaughter, Cecilia, who is in college at Kansas State, majoring in Veterinarian Medicine. She checks on her grandmother regularly and the two have a sweet relationship.
We left her house this morning and are now at the Holiday Travel Park in North Platte, NE. We had stopped at a KOA earlier today but it had been flooded by the Platte River, so we went on down the road to this campground. www.holidayparkne.com
Tomorrow we head north on hwy 83 and will probably stay at a State Park near Valentine, NB.
The one thing that has amazed me about this part of the country is the abundance of cornfields.
Mileage - Columbus, Ga to North Platte, NB 1, 369
