Moving on: Rapid City to Kaerney NB

Time to leave Rapid City.  It turned out to be a long day on the road.  We got up at 6:30 thinking we would be pulling out at 8 AM  but no it was 8:30.  Went a short ways to a gas station where Don has a company card that requires a pin number, he forgot his pin. We both looked through his box of junk for a small yellow post-it note with the magic number but could not find it.  Then he went inside the store to see if they could help, finally we got gas with another card and they gave him his discount.

Then it was on the road south into Nebraska, didn't realize Nebraska has such rolling hills so it was up and down.  We came to an area where 2 sets of parallel train tracks ran by the highway.  I don't know how many coal trains we saw full and empty on these tracks!

Time for more gas, I had found the pin on the computer so all was well except Don just got the minimum amount to get us to the next station that was a few cents cheaper.  (I call all this his Gas Games).  Finally 10 hours after we left Rapid City we pulled into a campground in Kaerney, NB.  It was a nice campground, pull-thru sites, concrete pads.  Somewhat expensive.  Don plugged in the electricity, turned on the air conditioning and off we went to find something to eat.

We decided to go to the first place we came across.  It was a Red Lobster, more dinner than we wanted so a bit further we found a Perkins.  Not a favorite but we tried it and turns out it was good.  Our side salads were nicer than we have seen at high priced places.  All the food good and service fine.

Getting back to the motorhome I found the campground WiFi was off and on and very slow at best.  So I tried our Jet Pack but could not get cell service.  Forget getting on the internet!  We were tired anyway.
