Fort Kearny SRA

We took our first road trip with the camper this past week-end. Previously we had been camping at area lakes to get the feel as well as getting it stocked properly. This was our first trip outside of our 25 mile comfort zone. The month of July Beth had been staying with the Carpenter's caring for Noah while mom and dad worked. It was now time for her to return to Ogallala. We met up with the VanLaningham's at Fort Kearny for a camping week-end. The ride was uneventful arriving at campsite around 3.

Set up went without a hitch.

Had time to chill out,

have Fairbury hotdogs for dinner,

and await arrival of Michelle, Curt, Jake and dogs from Ogallala later that evening.

Fort Kearny SRA does offer alot of activities - Curt did some fishing early Saturday morning (fish didn't cooperate), kids and Curt did a little swimming Saturday mid-day, and there were several play areas scattered around the grounds for kids to burn off excess energy. The temps over the week-end were very high, alot of humidity and no breeze...so staying comfortable inside was preferred.

Van clan even had time to go into Kearney to do some last minute school shopping...much to Trixie and Champ's dismay...they miss their people...

Late Saturday evening there was a bonfire with s'mores...to dark for photos...but alot of conversation and laughter.

It was a great week-end...and yes a camper advertised as sleeping eight did accommodate seven humans and two full grown chocolate labs...comfortably??? not so much!!! but fun just the same!!!
