We are on our way to South Dakota and have stopped in Nebraska on our way. It’s Memorial Day weekend and we were worried that finding a campsite might be difficult. Apparently, if you can find one far enough out of the way not only will you find a site, you can have the campground all to yourself.
There are four pull-through hook up sites, a dump station and toilets along with a place to fill your water. Originally built for the 2017 solar eclipse the family has kept it going. A little pricey at $25 a night for what you get, but hey, it feels like we have the whole world to ourselves.
This area is mostly low, rolling hills with the occasional rock formation. We decide to take a walk around the open fields around us and look for fossils, which are supposed to be in the area.
We didn’t find any fossils but we did find a living dinosaur. Can you find the short-horned lizard or horny toad hiding in the dust?
He looks very angry that we have spotted him. No worries, we have no intentions other than taking these pictures.
This rock formation looks almost like something but I can’t quite put my finger on it. An old man with a beard, smoking a cigar?
This rock formation is a little bit easier to identify. An arch!
Or maybe a dragon with a beard? Hey, there is a road or path out there through the green grass. I bet that is the Agate Fossil Beds National monument hiking path. Tomorrow.
