07/25/19 - On 7/24, I left Lexington, Nebraska around 9:45 am because I felt I would have an easy day since I would gain and hour and I only had 252 miles.  I also knew that I needed to dump the tanks and there was a dump station located at one of the truck stops.  I found the truck stop and went in to the store to inquire where the dump station was and the gal was not helpful at all and kept saying out by the pumps.  I could not even see the pumps so decided to walk the area.  I did finally find the area so got the RV from the truck stop area to the gas station area and got it all ready to release because one did not have a lot of time between paying and pulling the valve.  I got a discount and only paid $7.50.  I then headed for another truck stop for lunch since the rest areas were not conveniently located.  The truck stop was great because we had lots and lots of room so took alittle longer for lunch since I was on a good schedule.  I left the truck stop and soon learned that the I-80 interstate was completely closed going west bound.  We all had to exit off on a small two lane road and of course lots and lots of semi trucks.  We drove and drove but finally got back on the interstate.  It states that it is 97 degrees outside and of course then the engine thought it had to run alittle hotter than normal so that put me on edge.  It almost hit the middle of the dial so I decided to drive a little slower since it seemed the gauge would go down a little.  I drove 21 miles out of the way so instead of 252 miles I was at 273 miles.  Finally got to Philip and Virginia's at 3:30 pm.  I got the car off, parked the RV, leveled the RV but then needed to wait for Philip regarding hook up of electric and water.  Virginia was very busy baking goodies since they were setting up a road side stand because the town is very busy with Frontier Days.  She baked white bread, wheat bread, banana bread, cinnamon rolls and several types of cookies.  Philip and I did the hook up, then we had dinner and she had a mess in the kitchen because of all the baking so I did not help with the clean up but took my shower and off to bed.  I did want to watch the news so had to set up the TV and soon was in bed by 9:45 pm and the news was on at 10:00 pm.  After news, I went to bed.

Today, I have been putting more things away, some minor cleaning and right now am cooking my fresh beets for lunch tomorrow.  I sliced some tomatoes as well so I am really enjoying garden items.  At 3:00 pm, plan to drive up to the road side stand to see if I can be of assistance.  Nothing much else is planned.
