Nebraska Tailwaters

We are just south of Yankton SD on the Nebraska side at Nebraska Tailwaters Campground. This is an electric only campground with the dump station on highway 121 above the campground. When we arrived yesterday we were greeted with a Bald Eagle fishing over the river. By the time I got my camera and put on the telephoto lens he was gone.

Our first order of business after setup was to again go to the visitors center. There are good views of the Lewis and Clark lake as well as downstream below the dam. We talked with a work camper and got some of the lay of the land. and a suggestion for our trip to Glacier NP. The road over the dam is closed during the day while maintenance is being done. When they open the road it is limited to vehicles less than 9' wide. Since we are 8'6", not counting the mirrors, I'll not attempt this with the MH.

Raining today, 6/11, so we took a ride to town and did a little shopping for lunch. Tomorrow we plan to go to Vermillion to the Music Museum, that will be another entry.

Since this was once an inland sea there are sharks teeth to be found
