Rolling...

 

We left Hart Ranch today; pulled out of our site around 8:00 am...

 It rained all night, but gave us a break when it was time to unhook and head out.  Looking at radar, we know we are going to be dealing with rain off and on, as far as we care to go.  We generally make our first night stop in Ogallala, NE - there is an RV park there with sites that are plenty long enough for us.  We'll go further if we feel it.

Some shots on the road...

Low overcast for the first few hours...

Rufus slept on my lap...

Here's a short video of the view through the windshield (above).  A few minutes of sunshine...

It didn't last long...

Driving through the Sandhills in Nebraska...

More nap time...

That doesn't look comfortable to me, but the boy is adaptable.  Plus, he's a good boy.

When we got close to a perspective campground, I called to make sure they had a site - yep, one site left.  I gave the lady on the phone my name, and she told me which spot I'd be in.  And then we ran into road construction...

It was stop and go... mostly stop... and then painfully slow.  I called the campground again to assure the lady we were coming - she knew about the construction.  It was one of those two lanes into one, and both east and west traffic on the same side of the road... I couldn't see any reason why we were stopped for 10 minutes or more at a time.  Repeatedly.  And then three wreckers when by the other direction, one pulling a semi, then a fire department truck, and a Nebraska Highway Patrol.  Someone was having a worse day than the several miles of traffic that was stopped.

The description of the campground said good gravel interior roads and sites.  Reasonably accurate, but they have had a LOT of rain, so huge puddles everywhere.  It looks like the campground is full of construction workers (probably working on those miles of road where we got stopped)... I'm guessing it will be an early morning as they all head out tomorrow.
