Camping Out West...Days 82, 83, 84...Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, September 6, 7, 8, 2010




Not much to talk about here. Monday's drive from Park City to Grand Island, Nebraska is uneventful...a pretty drive out of Utah, across southern Wyoming, and into Nebraska. I'm hoping to find a good steak restaurant (as Nebraska is known for great beef), but it's Labor Day, and most places are closed for the holiday. So...it's a Days Inn located next to an Applebees in Grand Island.
Tuesday morning, I'm up early and on the road. Around 11:00AM, I'm in Lincoln, Nebraska and heading to a place called Misty's for lunch. I've eaten at Misty's several times before (both locations), and I can say without hesitation that they serve the best Prime Rib that I have ever had. By 11:30, I'm digging into the medium cut, served rare, plus with a baked potato and a glass of Cab. It's every bit as wonderful as I remembered. Around 6:00PM, I'm in Davenport Iowa...a Microtel next to a TGI Friday's. A few cocktails, a light dinner (I'm still stuffed from lunch), and I'm done for the night.
Another early start on Wednesday...across Illinois, into Indiana, and then, Michigan at last. At around 4:00PM, I pull into my driveway...home at last.
