June 25th, 2009 Day One

Our vacation started this morning as we left the farm at 6:40 am. We treated ourselves to BKF at the Seven Stars Resturant in Hampton. We took HWY 65 to HWY 30 and were on our way.
Crossed the state line into Nebraska around 12:30 pm. Had a little road construction along the way, but not too bad. As we headed west, the temps continued to rise, by the time we got to Grand Island,Nebraska, it was 95 degrees, we pulled into Holdridge, Nebraska around 6 pm,which is on HWY 34, decided we were staying in at the Super 8, nice place, had a nice little resturant in walking distance that we ate our supper at. Was a nice day, thought we made pretty good time for not having a time schedule. We are just playing it by ear. Nice to be able to do that.
Not real exciting yet, but relaxing.
Saw a lot of irrigation of corn and bean fields, we really take our water for granted, some of the corn was shoulder high already, and some of the bean fields were filling in. There was also some pretty sorry looking fields. Their soil is so sandy.
