Hughes County

It was a good day of travel. I don't know how to make it super interesting when I am mostly just driving. I saw rolling plains, farms, irrigation systems for those fields, drove two way highways and passed tractors moving from field to field on the highways. The two way highways had very little traffic making it easy negotiating.
Unleaded gas at the Sam's Club in Grand Island, NE was $4.54/g. I'm not seeing a whole lot of difference in gas prices compared to ours in Austin. That is very interesting since there is usually significantly higher prices the farther north one travels.
For lunch I located a nice little park in Grand Island and had myself a picnic. The temperature was so pleasant. It was sunny with a nice breeze. I found a covered spot with picnic tables. Very relaxing.
I arrived in Pierre at 6:40 pm. Settled in then walked 0.3 miles down the street to a Mexican restaurant. The food was just as good as in Austin. I think all the staff is Latino.
On my way back to my hotel I continued on to walk the path along the Missouri River. The sky was gorgeous and the evening was beautiful.
Tomorrow evening is my class reunion. Should be fun and interesting.Read more
