Fremont Nebraska June 12- July 6

It is a sunny Saturday morning in Fremont Nebraska. It was an easy drive from Mount Rushmore to Fremont with one stop in Valentine Nebraska. Valentine was an interesting town and the full service campground only cost $12.50. This made up for the $60/night at the Palmer Ranch KOA site. The town is named for E. K. Valentine, who as a Congressman from Nebraska, was chairman of the house committee on Agriculture during his six years in office-1879-1885. He was instrumental in getting the settlers grievances redressed by the Government. As the "Heart City" of America, Valentine is the site from which thousands of Valentine's Day greetings are mailed each year. Visitors and residents alike find that Valentine's Day greetings bearing the Heart City's postmark adds an extra special touch to the annual lover's holiday. The largest building in town was a very modern Post Office which is about 4 city blocks.
We arrived about 4 PM in Fremont and will be here for about 3 weeks. Dave and Tonya are long time friends who live on a lake. They bought the empty lot next door so that is where we have our RV. Our back window views onto the lake and we have power and water. We are getting excited about our trip home June 22 to July 2 for Mom’s 90th birthday. We leave next Sunday and will arrive about 8 PM. I have rented a car and will drive to Comox on Monday with an overnight at Alan’s house. Thursday is an open house for Mom then will drive her over to Vancouver on the weekend before we leave back to Fremont on July 2.
Pictures are coming so just be patient.
