Continuing east in Nebraska

From Kearney, we continued east to York, Nebraska, stopping at Diamond B Overnight Horse Motel (https://www.diamond-b.com/overnight_stabling.htm, also a Harvest Host).

They had an area set up for socializing outside (but it was pretty warm so we didn't take advantage of it).

Motel room building (you can see one of the doors and a window, I think there were two motel rooms that could be rented). You can barely see the front of Gracie around the corner of the red barn.

We were tucked in next to one of the barns with a 50A hookup. Diane had told us that 6 horse trailer customers would also be coming. They did not arrive until nearly dark, and left very early in the morning...

I didn't get pictures while they were all parked, but, suffice it to say, the whole area was full!

We found out about the horse motel through Harvest Hosts, but obviously, their primary clientele are horse folks. Diane told me that a person with goats had been staying with them and they were milking the goats and dumping the milk in an unused field beyond the barn. I wonder how folks who have need of this kind of accommodation (housing them or their trailer + their animals) find them. Is there a "AAA Tourbook - Horse Motel Edition"?

Turns out that there is a website... here's the page for Nebraska and Diamond B is down at the bottom: https://www.horsemotel.com/Nebraska.html and there are comments too: https://www.horsemotel.com/ZZNebraskaComments.html#diamondb

As we were continuing our drive east on Saturday morning, we saw a very large covered wagon (said to be world's largest: https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/14964)

After we got to Omaha, we disconnected the Jeep and headed out to do some shopping...

There are now 100" and 98" TVs at Costco! Carl likes the smaller on (to the right) better as the picture quality is sharper!

Our Harvest Host for Saturday night was a microbrewery -- a bit different accommodation from the horse motel!

They were celebrating their 8th anniversary, so had lots of stuff set up out in the parking area...

... live music, there were also a couple of food trucks...

... our host for the night.

It was handy to be right near Omaha and to be able to get some shopping done.
