500,000 sandhill cranes make a refueling stop along the Platte River around Kearney Nebraska every Spring.  They aren’t here right now but we are checking it out anyway just in case we make it back some year to see the big show.  While we are here, we check out the local Firefighters Museum open house and Smokey the Bear’s 75th Birthday celebration, the Great River Road Archway, the Hastings Museum-Kool Aid was invented here, and we cruise through Central City and past Grandma and Grandpa’s old place.   

Between touristy stuff Kent takes care of a bunch of the motorhome hail damage.
