The small towns in northern Nebraska, as we understand it, have town parks that allow travelers and transient farm workers a place to stay. They are often just a few sites, most with drinking water, some with power and bathrooms, others with pit toilets.
We checked a few out on our way across Nebraska and found a really nice one in Valentine. It was clean, had flush toilets and even a nice brook. All for a donation.
The people were friendly, and their dogs of course. We even met the town cop as he did his rounds.
While we stayed here there were 5 tenters, an RV, a teardrop trailer, a traveling motorcyle group in another 8 tents, and a girl scout troop on a road trip (1 of the leaders thought Darrin looked like a young Kenny Rogers – he has been singing The Gambler ever since).
A great way to spend a few very, and I mean 100 degrees very, hot days.
We also saw the coolest vehicle, besides our Rover, in Nebraska.
On to the mountains of South Dakota , and fingers crossed, some cooler weather.
