On Thursday, we continued our trip to the north in preparation for the outside chance of a strong storm in central
South Dakota today.
As stated previously, we began the day in
Wichita. We eventually ended up at Branched Oak State Recreation Area, which is just outside of
Lincoln, NE. We setup camp and then headed into
Lincoln to pick up homemade runzas at a rundown grocery store that I used to frequent when I was a Masters student at the
University of Nebraska.
For those not in the know, a runza is basically dough stuffed with low-quality beef and cabbage. We were able to enjoy our runzas in UNL’s Memorial Stadium after (name removed b/c of crybaby culture that permeates our society) found a way to the field through the labyrinth of concrete corridors under the stands.
Upon our return to the campground in the evening, we took up a game of baseball. (Name and pic removed) split his shorts due to an ungraceful stretch trying to catch a poorly thrown ball from Kelsey – see evidence below. On a side note, this was Chelly’s first camping experience …ever! I’m happy to report that Chelly and Kelsey thoroughly enjoyed the numerous spiders in the campground’s shower facilities.
Enjoying the evening.
Overall, the weather was perfect for camping on the lake and we enjoyed a number of Old Styles and Coors Lights (perhaps too many?), in addition to some brats. Four of those brats went down Jimmy Legs’ throat, which is pretty remarkable considering how skinny the fella is!
We hold out hope that we will get lucky today; however, with meager low-level moisture and a pretty stout cap, the luck may be waning.
BTW, if you lost your horse in Malcolm, Nebraska, please call the above number. How does one lose a horse?
