Three jumps in an internet dead zone.
Grand Island to Wayne, NE 120 miles. Grass lot. Warm. Rainy. Our third day of stormy weather and the third consecutive lot where tractors were required to move the show after tear down.
Short Jump from Wayne to West Point, NE. 35 miles. Picture perfect mid-western village with a well-kept fairgrounds in the middle of town. Green grass, and sunny. Warm. Good business after days of rainouts. The first fireflies of the season, a reminder that we are headed into the east.
West Point to South Sioux City, NE. 73 miles. Gravel lot. Sunny. Mild temps. The fairgrounds is hard on the banks of the Missouri River. Lewis and Clark must have walked this riverbank when their Corps of Discovery undertook the greatest of all adventures. Our ringmaster Aaron Broderick turned over a trailer on the jump. Fortunately Aaron was unharmed and the trailer just needs a bit of paint. Our crack Mechanics can right a trailer and have you back on the road in no time. Lot and License shows today. Tomorrow it’s into Iowa.
