We lazed around all morning, then got out and about at noon. We went to QDOBA Mexican Eats for lunch. We sat at the bar so we could be waited on instead of standing in the long, self order line. We laughed when we had to show our ID to get a beer. The food and service was good.
We stopped by the North Platte visitor's center then went to the Golden Spike Tower. The young man at the tower gave us the over 62 rate. One minute we are being carded and the next we are getting the senior citizen rate. How ironic!
The Golden Spike Tower overlooks the Bailey Train Yard. The yard is 8 miles long and 2 1/2 miles wide. It is very impressive to watch them organize the trains. Lauren and the retired railroad volunteer had a thorough discussion about the workings of the yard.
We took a ride on the wildlife loop. This is the place that everyone comes in the spring to see the massive numbers of sandhill cranes. There was not much wildlife today, and definitely no sandhill cranes.
We rode around Lake Maloney then made it back to camp. We sat outside in the howling, hot, wind most of the afternoon, then went in to watch TV. Tomorrow is moving day.
