One More Day We made the short drive from Onawa to Nebraska City without fanfare; however, I-29 is pitiful, with two lane traffic most of the way. As we drove it, we remembered why we have been cutting across Nebraska the last couple of trips out west, rather than go I-29 and I-90. Our future travels will continue across Nebraska! We arrived shortly after noon, and were able to watch college football. Consequently, the guys watched Notre Dame and Michigan, while the girls toured Nebraska City and shopped. Kay prepared a great dinner of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, biscuits, and gravy.

Kay’s Take Mark this spot on your calendar, Ladies! A Pendleton outlet in Nebraska City!!! Can’t believe I’ve camped in this area three times and never noticed this outlet before. It’s in the downtown area and beautiful, current Pendleton pieces and some from last season also. We shopped til we dropped. Carolyn did some Christmas shopping too. I found a great black short trench coat – so cute!

Recommendations Enroute to Nebraska City, NE Regretfully, we have a negative recommendation when traveling in Iowa: avoid their interstate system, and if the interstate system is an indication of their overall road program, avoid the state entirely. Nebraska City is a neat town, and worth spending a few hours seeing the sights. It is where Arbor Day began, has a rich river history, and has an outlet mall.

Campground We have stayed at Victorian Acres RV Park, Nebraska City, NE, many times. Recently, the RV Park changed ownership, and the new owners have done wonders. The already clean restrooms were immaculate, many of the semi-permanent tenants had vacated, and it now feels more like an RV park. The interior roads and sites could use more gravel, but this park has definitely improved, and business was brisk.
