GRAND ISLAND ON THE PLATTE RIVER

(Somehow, this post got misplaced.  It belongs in the 

area where we posted our trip out here. )

Looking out our bedroom window just before leaving Grand Island, Nebraska. 

Grand Island is named because of an

island in the Platte River. 

Fun following the Platte, thinking of our ancestors; also going through Council Bluffs,

and thinking more of those ancestors.  

Sister Christensen has ancestors buried in Pottowattamie County, Nebraska.

Just wish we knew where.

STILL ON OUR WAY

Snowy - on our way. 

Not only did we stay at Mary & Fred's

an extra day, but we also

 holed up in a hotel in

Grand Island, Nebraska an extra night. 

Didn't want to take any chances. 

Stayed in three different Hotels

 - at  Kearny, Grand Island, and Moline -

on the way out.

The best part of the ride was

studying talks and Preach My Gospel

(our terrific missionary manual)

together on the way.

 Tender Mercies

Most of the drive didn't seem bad.
