Friday’s travel of 348 miles ended in Denton, Nebraska, for Saturday’s  annual family reunion at the Spring Creek Prairie Audubon Center. Thanks a billion to the Thody family for providing parking and electric for the Universal Space Bus. Also, I hereby announce that Tyler Thody is the Everlasting, All-Powerful, Popcorn-Making Wizard. If you have enjoyed his popcorn by the campfire, you have experienced salty, buttery popcorn nirvana.

This morning we hitched up and traveled to Kansas City, Missouri,–a trifling 209 miles– for a stay at Worlds of Fun Village and a nice visit with my sister and her kids and grandkids.
