Nebraska, Lincoln - Friday, September 6, 2013 - Camp A Way


We arrived at Camp A Way campground around 6:00 this evening.  We’ll be joining the pancake breakfast in the morning and then we’ll be on the road for Pratt, KS.

We put away the frozen and refrigerated groceries before we left Sioux Falls, but the rest had to be put away once we got settled this evening.  I had to laugh at the cashier at the grocery store she said she didn’t think she had ever rung up an order that big (maybe she was new).  Once again we decided to buy a month’s worth of groceries in one stop since it worked out so well for us for the last six weeks.  In that time we ate out four times for lunch, we fixed 42 breakfasts, 38 lunches and 42 dinners at home.  One thing that was a surprise – South Dakota charges sales tax on food.  We didn’t buy paper or cleaning products today so I knew that everything we bought was food.  It’s a good thing we didn’t buy anymore, the freezer, fridge and pantry are all packed again.

We won’t be up late this evening – no TV reception, too many trees.  We walked through the campground after supper and it’s a very nice place.  They have a pool, hot tub, playground for the kids and a fenced in doggy park for the pets.  We are in among a lot of Nebraska Husker fans, they play tomorrow night here in Lincoln.  We don’t have a Purdue flag so we thought about running my Purdue sweatshirt up our flagpole just to create a little stir.  These people look like serious fans, with lights, decorations, blow up Husker figurines and flags everywhere.
