| White Cloud Lewis & Clark Kiosk |
After a leisurely breakfast with Tom & Max, we
discovered that the fridge wasn’t cold.
Investigation revealed that the pilot (me) did a poor job of switching
to AC when we arrived on Saturday. I
should have let the co-pilot (Mary) do her job.
Underway at about 9:30am, we headed North on I29 towards St.
Joseph but headed overland to cross the Missouri River at Atchison, KS
(Childhood home of Amelia Earhart). We
took Kansas Scenic Highway 7 North along the River through the Rolling Glacial
Hills area and stopped at White Cloud, KS to look at the Lewis & Clark
Trail markers and to allow Mary to dip her hand in the Missouri. She has dipped
her hands in the Tennessee, Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri rivers.

Continuing north, we passed the White Cloud Casino
(exercising Native American rights to fleece the white man) and passed into
Nebraska – Mary’s 44th state!
We drove at a leisurely 50-60mph pace along 2 lane highways through
rolling hills and farmland arriving at Hebron, NE about 4:30pm.
We are camped in the Hebron Riverside Park – site of both
former CCC Camp and WWII POW camp. Hebron
has setup power, water and shower facilities for campers at just $15.00 a
night. There is a little league game
getting started on the adjoining baseball field so we are going to walk over
and watch for a while.
