Avoca Iowa to Pioneer Village, Minden NE

A quiet night, we slept well. Oatmeal for breakfast again. Away at 8:40 CDT, 16C with light rain.  Rain stopped about 20 minutes later.

Good stop at the Nebraska Tourist Info in Omaha. Many buildings looked  tornado-proofed, likely real useful in this area. Easy I80 traveling again, partly due to the absence of construction workers. Lots of signs about lane closures and slowdowns, but not today!

We stopped about 2:30 at Pioneer Village (PV) in Minden NE, about 13 mi south of I80 near Kearney NE. They have a campground, motel and restaurant there as well as the Pioneer Village. 

A full-hookup campsite was the equivalent of about $30 Cdn/night, with WiFi. Camping included 1 admission to the PV exhibits too, with free entry next day for both of us. All in all, very reasonable. We just took it easy this aft, some rain around. 

We did drive in to see the Archway over I80. $10 each to go in so we didn't, as it was almost closing time. 
I80 runs right under the Archway
