Hello from Lexington, NE<\/p>\n

Friday evening   October 19, 2012   (Sixth travelogue of this trip).<\/p>\n

We got a late start today.  It was really cold and windy.  Of course, it was mostly a head wind out of the north west.  Given the conditions, we resigned ourselves to taking three days to get home.  However, the weather cleared up a bit and we were able to travel a bit over 300 miles. <\/p>\n

We are at the Wal Mart in Lexington, NE (map)<\/a>.  We are a bit short of half way, but we should be able to get an earlier start tomorrow and get home on Saturday, as planned.<\/p>\n

In an earlier blog, I had mentioned our amazing fortune of finding the Dickison Cemetery (a bit north and east of Nevada, MO).  As I noted, the cemetery is on private property.  With permission, we traveled across a farm field and found the somewhat overgrown cemetery.  We quickly found Pat’s grandfather’s grandparent’s marker (in good condition, considering the stone was over 142 years old).  Below is a picture of the cemetery.<\/p>\n

I also mentioned the wonderful color in Iowa.  Shown below is a tree at Bill and Jeanne’s house.  Shortly after the picture was taken, the storms moved in and the tree lost most of the leaves.<\/p>\n
