Aug 16 - Gothenburg NE

Today was housekeeping day so we didn’t actually get on the road until noon.

We stopped at the Rowe Sanctuary which is a staging area for Sandhill Cranes.  Even though this is a very quiet time there it was interesting to talk to the docent.  We will be looking at the “crane cam” next March when they get anywhere from 200,000 to 400,000 cranes on their way north.  They have web cams set up mornings and evenings in March that are actually manned so that you can get the best view of what’s happening each day.


A woman in the laundry room this morning mentioned that we should watch for and stop at the Archway which is a museum built over the I-90.  Sounded interesting and we certainly were keeping an eye out for it but couldn’t have missed it if we tried.  We did stop and walked around the grounds and a little into the museum but there were steep escalators and no elevators so we couldn’t really go through the museum.  There are photos in the album and this awful photo through the windshield at least shows the outline.
