Nebraska!

as usual late on motel check-outFirst of all, let's get ready and get out of the Sioux Falls waterbed motel room. Still with Iowa's smell on ourselves.

just a glimpse ...Crossing the Missouri river for good and finally heading for the Wild West.

on the road to nowhere ...NEBRASKA!

It is a beautiful place, but just so empty. And just like in the cowboy comics I used to read when I was a little boy.

intrepid driver

And here in Nebraska the intrepid driver takes the wheel ...

oh boy, it's hot!

... and we almost end up stranded because of a bad planning on gas use. Try to call the AAA in Nebraska ... see how you can get them there ...

luckily there is no 'Insect Protection Fundation' ...

Driving and driving we end up collecting part of the ecosystems we cross, for further research use.
Not much, though, and not in perfect shape too ...

kind of big, uh?

Snake River

And finally in the beautiful camping in Merritt Reservoir, close to Valentine, NE. Total expense, three bucks.

Beautiful river, beach, met a couple deers ( just like Bambi), Budweiser can left by a nature lover ...and remnants from other camper's ecosystem. I personally plan not to consume anymore PEPSI and BUDWEISER, most of all the cans I found in the wilderness come from these two brands.

with the usual twenty pounds of cameras ...

Photographer at work

... but isn't it worth it?
