Go West! Part 6, The Final Post

How am I still talking about a trip we took last August? Time to finish up this trip and start talking about all the other cool stuff we've seen and done.

After leaving our campsite in Wyoming, we drove for 9,736,846 hours through Nebraska and finally stopping at a campground in Kearney, Fort Kearney State Recreation Area. You never truly appreciate what a looooooong state Nebraska is, until you're at the end of a wonderful vacation, and are just trying to get home. No offense, Nebraska. I still like you. :)

So, here we are, on our last night of our BIG Westward trip, so we decide to set up all of our stuff! Lights, rugs, awnings, candles, etc. We sure looked good!

The lights on the awning tie-downs are brilliant! They keep us from tripping over the tie-downs in the dark, and they give a nice ambiance to the campsite. I bought these at Big Lots, for super cheap, and each strand runs off of 2 AA batteries. They are designed for indoor/outdoor use, so they're perfect for camping! No cords, and since they're battery powered instead of solar, I don't need to get them in the sunlight while traveling.

Normally, on just a quick overnight, we wouldn't go to the trouble of setting up the awning, but since it got used so little during the trip, it was worth it!

We were pretty tired and just ready to be home, so we just hung out at the campsite, doing a whole lotta nothing! :)

Well, clearly not "nothing." We must have had OK phone service!

One of my favorite things to do while camping is take in the scenery of wherever we camp. Kearney SRA didn't disappoint. Got a beautiful sunset!

That pretty much marks the end of our Westward trip! We had a great time, really fell in love with the T@b, and are ready for the next adventure!

Happy Camping!
