August 3

Starting point: Lincoln, NE

Ending point: Nebraska National Forest

States visited: Nebraska

Accommodations: a pretty nice campsite in the Nebraska sand hills

Dining: breakfast at McDonalds, lunch of beef jerky and blueberries, a disastrous attempt to cook dinner by Brendan, and hot dogs that followed that attempt.

What we learned that we didn't know before: Grand Island is neither.  Cacti grow in Nebraska.

Would we come here again?  Sure; as it was, we debated staying a second night.

On to August 4
