On the road with Bill & Karen.

Hi Family and friends:

We are doing great.  

  Driving around Council Bluffs, IA & Omaha, NE is the reason for the steering wheel in the truck. 

 A lot of OOPS... another one way go around,

and recalculating from GPS.

Boy, do they love to decorate bridges here.

 

 There is a beautiful foot bridge that connects rails and trails between the two states. It has a nice swing in the breeze, and is closed on high wind days.

So many trails west began here. The Santa Fe, California gold rush and the golden spike was driven into the railroads west here.

 

 Col. Dodge of the Pacific Railroad made his home in

Council Bluffs.

 

Lewis and Clark made first council with the Oto. and Missourians here in the bluffs that surround the great Missouri River.

 

 Today we head for South Dakota along the trail that Lewis and Clark mapped out for President Andrew Jackson.

Bill and I miss and love y'all.  

Keep well and keep us in your prayers as we keep you.

Bill & Karen
