Visiting in Kearney, Nebraska

We had a planned stop in Kearney (pronounced "Carney"), Nebraska for Thursday night to visit friend Celesta, so on Thursday morning, we continued west to Kearney.

On our way out of North Platte, we saw a sign that we had seen Wednesday evening -- we had both thought that they would be advertising Beer Cheese soup, but, no, just beer at the Bottle Shop!

Since we had a short drive from North Platte to Kearney, we arrived early enough to have lunch with Celesta and friend, Kary.

We decided to try a Nebraska local favorite, Runza...

They are famous for a sandwich of the same name, made of ground meat with cabbage, stuffed into fresh bread. We also got onion rings.

We forgot to take a picture, but Celesta remembered to take one -- so this is Kari with Carl and Patti. Unfortunately we didn't get a picture with Celesta!

We decided to stay at Cabela's as they allow RVers to park in their lot... so we went in to do some shopping...

Funny sign!

Cabela's provides dog kennels for customers to use while they are shopping. There was also a small horse corral.

It was so nice to meet up with Celesta, and to get to meet Kari. So much fun to meet friends along the way!
