Indian Cave State Park, Nebraska - 3,485 miles

Indian Cave SP looked good on the small Nebraska state park brochure we picked up somewhere. It had dump site and sites with electrical hookups. Only water hookups keep it from being perfect. The sites are spread out with plenty of grassy and treed space in between them. There are lots of trails, bird watching spots in a wetland area, picnic areas, and camp sites. It has boat ramps and places to fish. There are 134 RV camping spots, showers, and phones. It has sites with 50 amp service. We paid $18/night. Indian Cave is 10 miles south of Brownville on Nebraska State Road 64E Spur.

It rained almost the entire time we were here. I had plans to get over to viewing blinds to do some bird watching but the rain got in the way of that.

On the way down US 75 we stopped in Nebraska City to check things out. We found a local meat market that had all kinds of fresh meats and local jams, jellies, mixes, honey and crafts. We got some roast beef and turkey and some gift items for family. Nebraska City has a Pendleton Outlet store. Seven checked out their fabric section. The downtown section was really robust with clothing stores, a hardware store, furniture stores, and the usual collection of insurance and lawyer offices. There is a fabulous old red sandstone bank building on 1st Corso that I should have visited. There was an omnious new building going up on 11th Street south of the main business district. It looked like a Wal-Mart.
