| I'd always thought of Nebraska as flat and rather featureless, but Marty lives in some very pretty country. If I could figure out how to make a living there, I might move (Don't tell Neil!) | |

| | Hey we have some pretty nice sand beaches in Nebraska. Lot of sand pit for swimming, and boating. Lot of people go to the Platte river to play in the sand and swim. | |
I'm in a hurry to get things done
Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I really gotta do is live and die.
I'm in a hurry and don't know why! | |

....otherwise  | |

| Just an update
The Apple Inn has been sold to Walgrees, so we have not heard when the closing date is.
So you should call incase you had reservations.
Also the Embers has closed due to the pain in the butt new owner who had a bad attitude.

| Marty,
You've got enough room for tents, dont you??? 
All you have to do is find a decent BBQ chef...
(and tables, and chairs, and grill[s], and various cooking vessels, and serving station stuff, and - oh, never mind...) | |

This could get interesting... | |

| JJ did you ask if there was any more rooms in our block of rooms? Seems to me Carrie had the same block set aside.
No all full
The lady said that sept 9th is when they call the wedding partys to make sure they need that many rooms. so call the 10 th of Sept to see if any rooms open up. besides every year we have one or two who have to cancel. | |

| I thought JJ reserved his room for this year when he checked out. I know several of us did that.

| I remember traveling between Topeaka and Marty's a few small Mom and Pop motelss. along 75.
Also The Very First time I went to Marty's I stayed in a Mom and Pop Motel Just down the street from THE BEST WESTERN on the right side of the highway. it was a Older Place. But was reasonable priced and Clean. Just older. If your not fussy about contenential Breakfast and and internet service That was not a real bad plae. | |
