I originally planned this to be a 230-mile trip the used only about 6 miles of I-70 at the end.  But Jett convinced me to add a refueling stop and, knowing that range was no longer an issue, opted for a slightly longer but faster route down US 81.<\/p>\n<p>We saw a lot of corn, much of it being harvested. Consequently we had some trucks on the road carrying corn and wheat. But not many.  Traffic was not a problem.<\/p>\n<p>The truck ran flawlessly once again.  It has now been over 1,000 miles since it was repaired. I am starting to think that the repair was good.<\/p>\n<p>For the two nights in Kearney we stayed at the Kearney RV Park &#038; Campground. This was a nice short-term place.  Concrete pads on large pull-through sites. No cable TV but we pulled in about 10 channels over the air.  Not that it mattered, but the park had a lake with a beach. And it was near shopping.  We dined at Culvers the first night and at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whiskeycreek.com\/\">Whisky Creek Wood Fire Grill<\/a> the second night. Whisky Creek was a mixed bag. The salad and bread were simply excellent. The prime rib&#8230; not so much.  Very strange prime rib.  Almost like ribeye &#8211; very fatty. And not very thick.  Good flavor but still disappointing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>242 miles via I-80, NE 10, KS 8, US 36, US 81 and I-70. Cumulative tow miles: 709. Truck miles: 258.
