Mom met some people from Center Sandwich, NH at a Rest Area yesterday and they told her they were going to see the migration of the Sandhill Cranes in Nebraska. Mom looked it up online and it was on our way to Wyoming so we decided to check it out . We pulled off the highway and went to an Audubon Sanctuary and they let us hike out to a blind on the Platte river to view them. They were making such a racket! Dad held me up so I could peer out through the openings of the blind that looked out on the marsh-like river. It was pretty cool -- there were thousands of them everywhere! Can you imagine, the cranes winter in Texas and summer in Alaska. I thought we had a long trip!!!!
We got back in the car and drove and drove. We stopped at a nice rest stop and we all hung out in the warm sun. We followed train tracks along I 80 all the way to Cheyenne, Wyoming where we walked by a really neat old train station. A postman stopped and gave me a treat. Now we are in our room at Motel 6; they left the lights on.
