We continued on our
way to Spearfish, SD and tonight stopped in the campground at Offutt AFB in
Omaha. The facility is just off the base and is on the shores of a 144-acre
lake. A Wounded Warrior Care Project is underway this week, and cycling
entrants were practicing on the facility roads. These events are meant to
acquaint wounded veterans with athletic opportunities that boost their
confidence and physical well-being. It appears that the Wounded Warrior program
supplies the cycles in this case, and there was an interesting array of
modified cycles that accommodate the various challenges these veterans bring to
the event. It is great to see such an event, and the participants appear to be
enjoying the heck out of the activity.
The campground itself
is nicely wooded, with concrete pads. Even with the trees on our site we
managed to get satellite reception, which is quite important on Monday nights
when Dancing With The Stars is underway. If we were staying longer there would
be plenty to do. This is a nice fishing lake, evidently, and boats and gear are
available for rent.
Tomorrow we head further north to Oacoma, SD on the Missouri River.
