This morning we completed the big loop around the Dakotas with a fuel stop in Sioux Falls. Now we are backtracking on our way back toward the homestead. We started this trip with this overnight campground in Nebraska City and here we are back again. This is our sixth visit to this campground because it is a convenient distance from home.
Yesterday afternoon in Mitchell, SD the temperature was in the upper 90s with a heat index at 108°. We had a few rain showers overnight with a front moving through that cooled us down very nicely this morning. Now this afternoon in Nebraska City the temperature just a little while ago was 101° but the office says that a front is passing through this evening to cool us down a bit, we sure hope so.
In the past from here we would head East from St Joseph on US-36 to Macon and then down US-63 but this trip and future trips we will continue on I-29 to KC then East on I-70. The reason is to stop at the Flying J fuel stop off of I-435 around KC. We now have a Pilot/Flying J charge card that has several advantages so we try to use them as much as we can. The advantages are, it will activate the truck lane pumps without a trip into the desk, there isn't any dollar cutoff amount so we can get a full fill up, It gives us an 8 cents/gal discount off of the cash price, and it doesn't put the large fuel dollars on our other card limits.
