Windmill State Recreation Area Nebraska

The Gordon wedding went off without a hitch and everyone had a good time.   We enjoyed seeing old friends.

After the wedding we went back to our motorhome anxious to leave on our trip West.

Our first stop after a reasonable days drive was located at MM285 along I-80 in Nebraska. The park itself used to have quite a number of old historical Windmills but now unfortunately the remnants of a few and one 10 ft diameter that is still operating.  Below are a few pictures of the windmillswindmill  smallThe operating 10’ windmill

We stayed just the one night but there were few other campers and the stay was fun with bike riding and exploring.
