On one of our off days Allan and I drove to Nebraska. You ask why Nebraska? Allan's dad was born and raised on a farm near Dalton, Ne. The farm is no longer in our family, but Allan wanted to just drive by and see how the old house was doing. This is the house where Allan's dad was born and lived until he left for college.
The room on the far right on ground level was the birthing room. Looks like a large house, but they did have 6 boys to raise.
This looks like an old barn but still standing. This was not on the Webster farm.
Another pretty sunset from Fort Morgan, taken just outside our RV.
We now have four MAPS RV's. One MH is behind ours and just to the left.
The following pictures were taken a day before we left the project.
This is the shop and where "Earl", the cat, lives.
This is the house on the property. The portion on the right is where the church office is located.
They have built a Memorial Garden in front of the house. This is a portion of a tree trunk that was washed down from the Big Thompson Canyon flood of 1976. This flood destroyed many homes and well over 100 people were killed. The road going to Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain National Park is in this canyon.
The guys are busy at work.
They have been on the roof in 95 to 100 degree temperatures. Hopefully, the temps will start heading down some as we are in September.
Plentiful water and Gatorade have been downed by all.
This is Rod who is the caretaker of the property which consists of about 85 acres. He is a hard worker and his job is not 9-5. This is Earl's master.
The Fort Morgan Library also has a museum. Artis and I visited the museum one afternoon and even got a personal tour of the wing that was under construction. Aren't we special. I had to get a picture of the soda fountain. I have lots of memories of what goes on behind the fountain.
Glenn Miller attended high school here in Fort Morgan so they have a portion of the museum set aside in memory of him.
This engine was sitting out in front of the old Fort Morgan Power Plant.
If you have followed our blog for some time, you may have noticed I take pictures of road signs. Although in this picture you can not read the sign, it is warning of possible strong, high winds. Note the wind sock.
I am almost caught up on our blog. Stay tuned for further adventures of the Dream Reachers.
