The Summer ‘22 Trip was suppose to happen Summer of ‘21 but if you have read the blog you’ll know why it didn’t happen. Anyway, we left home on June 20 headed north towards Winterset, Iowa
First stop, Crowder State Park, Trenton, MO. We spent the night there to add a stop to you Missouri Parks patch goal. This was a wonderful stop and one I wish we had planned to stay a little longer. This place has fishing, tennis courts, playground, hiking, and more that I did not check into. It appears that they are also renovating the campsites with new concrete pads.
On to Winterset, IA and the John Wayne Museum. We stayed at the city park for 2-days this time and enjoyed our stay.
John Wayne had a coffee mug made for every movie and gave them to the people who were in and worked on the movie.
Stay at Neligh Park in West Point, NE. This was a very nice stop. We had the whole 17-site park to ourselves. All sites have electric and water with a dump station available. It is location in a city park with a new trail, ballfield, fairgrounds and other attractions. There was a swimming pool as well but we did not use so I can not give any additional information.
We traveled to Ainsworth, NE and stayed overnight at the city park. It seems like every small town in Nebraska has a city park with a campground with at a minimum electric hookup. We found it quite nice traveling across Nebraska as these are first come first serve sites. We were surprised the next morning when numerous cars started showing up. They put out a banner that read “Class of 72 Reunion”! We obliged them and got out if their way and onto our next destination….Fort Robinson State Park! Come wander with us on the next part later.
