Happy Sunday! We hope you are enjoying this Nebraska road trip as much as we are... we were so impressed by all that we discovered in Nebraska. We've included a few more interesting facts about Gothenburg and Ogallala in the description of this video. We're loving all of the suggestions for more to see and do on our next trip to Nebraska; keep them coming! We will definitely be back!
As Texans, you must not have read the book or seen the mini-series, “Lonesome Dove” by Archer City, Texas author, Larry McMurtry. They have a cattle drive to Ogallala. Remember when visiting Nebraska, the wind stop blowing one time and everybody fell down!
This is the origin point of the Ogallala aquifer which supplies ground water to West Texas and Eastern NM. Sadly, its supplies are depleted due to drought and over dependence. It was once the largest in the world. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! You missed a good sight to see in North Platte, NE. It is the Golden Spike Tower at Union Pacific’s largest rail yard. It about a 45 min drive east of Ogallala on I-80. In Gering, NE, we recommend staying at the Robidoux RV Park. It’s a very nice city owned park with FHU and a view of the Scottsbluff National Monument out your front window. Have a great trip!
When you return to Ogallala you might enjoy going north to Lake McConaughey. They excellent natural white sand beaches great fishing etc. We recommend booking ahead. Our favorite is Lone Eagle campground.
Goethenburg and Ogallala is a must stop little towns! That salad bar topped it off. 🤣😂 Ogalalla was a pretty wild and wooly place in the Days of the Texas cattle drives. It was pretty lawless. Those outdoor plays are always fun too. Thanks!
Thank you for highlighting Ogallala. Proud you can pronounce Ogallala. Parents had a motel there in 1967. Front Street was the place. Had a french dip there last week that was great!!!!!!. Don't forget Lake Mac just 20 miles north. Great for spring and fall camping.
Hello, I enjoy your videos. We are new to RVing as of December 2021. We have been dry camping on Texas beaches and RV parks. We rode through Bolivar Beach Club and RV Resort. It has the individual pet fenced areas at the RV spots. It is opened but still not finished. Our beach experiences on Bolivar and Surfside beaches were great. Safe travels. Houston and Texas Proud
Hi Maida, hope you are enjoying your RVing experience. Once we get back to Texas we need to check out that new RV Park on Bolivar, thanks for the info!
Gothenburg KOA was my preferred stop on my way to Moab. I'm surprised you didn't mention the famous Dallas Cowboy Jay Novacek played his HS football at Gothenburg High.
Just found you folks and we are enjoying traveling with you ! You have a nice balance of location, campground and travel info. Have you done an indoor tour of your beautiful motor home? I’ll go back and look ! Safe travels !
Hey, thanks for the info. We’ve stayed in Ogallala before at one of the KOA‘s and we went to boot Hill, then the weather turned bad, luckily no tornado just rain. I’m glad you’re includes places to eat because the next time we go through there We will have to try some of those out. Haven’t stopped at the pony express but it’s on my bucket list. Thanks again, from Southeast Texas!💜
We stayed on the site with the dog pen next to yours last year! We also plan on going back. It was just an overnight stay on our way to the Black Hills and we were very surprised at how nice Ogallala is and how nice that KOA is. We’ll be back there next year and stay several days.
The Pony Express station is far off the interstate. Just an FYI. WIND IN NEBRASKA???? LOL! I cringed when you went to the Mexican food restaurant. Glad it was authentic Mexican food. Sometimes it Nebraska bland Mexican food. Did you meet Dorothy Lynch? 😏
So I have a question for you guys (and sorry if you answered already I’m a little late to the game) do you guys have/need CDL to drive your rig? And what is the weight of your rig? Thank you!!

We didn’t see the mini series but will now look it up, thanks!
Everyone thinks there is nothing in Nebraska except cornfields. We have so many gems when u get off the interstate.
No doubt about that!

For sure!

Great video! Love your small town USA tours. Well done.
Thanks
Sorry I missed you folks. You came to town(Gering) and you didn't warn me you were coming. I could have at least waved as you drove by the house. lol
😊
Gothenburg KOA was my preferred stop on my way to Moab. I'm surprised you didn't mention the famous Dallas Cowboy Jay Novacek played his HS football at Gothenburg High.
Didn’t know that fact, thanks for sharing!

Your welcome Carl!
I really enjoy your videos highlighting small towns. How is your Mom Stacy?
She is doing great, thanks for asking! 😊
Hello. Well now we are going to have to go back to Nebraska. If y'all visit Lake Brownwood state park give us a holler.
Will do, thanks!
Jay Novacek, former Dallas Cowboy went to high school in Gothenburg.
Cool
Great one! I still think TX has them beat.
😂
Pony express riders often kids 12-15 and orphans.
That’s what we learned, seems crazy!
My Wife is from Kearney and we live in Texas.
Awesome
The Pony Express station is far off the interstate. Just an FYI. WIND IN NEBRASKA???? LOL! I cringed when you went to the Mexican food restaurant. Glad it was authentic Mexican food. Sometimes it Nebraska bland Mexican food. Did you meet Dorothy Lynch? 😏
Yea, we loved her salad dressing and have some in the fridge right now!
So I have a question for you guys (and sorry if you answered already I’m a little late to the game) do you guys have/need CDL to drive your rig? And what is the weight of your rig? Thank you!!
Yes, but not a full CDL. In Texas anything over 26,000 lbs. we are 38,500
Private doggie space, and a decent sized gas grill. Jayman...
Yep, really cool
We all know y’all are just looking for a cooler spot than TEXAS. (Did you find one?)
Yes we did, thanks
Corhusker red RV. 😂
