Well we made it home.
Perfect trip except last night. Got stuck in a bad storm between
Lincoln and Omaha in Nebraska and got hit with 2|ore4-Y hail.
Cracked windshield on the View and lots of other damage. Bronco has
dents in just about every panel on it. Terrible way to end a great trip.
Very discouraging.

the beginning of the trip, and it'll probably never happen again. Not
only that, you didn't fall off the hogback or have 2 flat tires in the boonies.

Sorry that happened to you. Not the best way to start or end a trip but
just like the storm, this too shall pass. In my many years of travel we
have experienced several unpleasant situations. Of course that doesnrCOt make you feel better. After the crying, swearing and outright disgust (BTDT) all you can do is deal with it and look forward to the next adventure.
By the way, good luck with the insurance company.

Thanks to you both for the kind words. I know it will all work
out and am not going to let this stop me from RVing. Working
on getting it ready today for service. Once I get settled back
in to the home routine, I'll post about some of the interesting
things we did and learned on the trip.

Oof, so sorry to hear this. And since I'm from that area it's
bothersome you weren't treated better. :(

We'll look forward to hearing about it. I'm especially glad you
didn't fall off the hogback. How sensible of you. (name that
movie)

In honesty, it was entirely my fault that I ended up where I
did during the storm. But it's a story for another day. I
actually really like Nebraska and Iowa. I intended to get to,
and eventually did, make it to Council Bluffs, Iowa. We slept
in the Bass Pro lot right near the Mid America Center. The
view to the west of the city of Omaha is really quite beautiful
from there. Though, we also were right in the Eppley Airfield
runway pattern and got a bit of jet noise, but it quieted down
after 11 pm.
The storm was big news on the AM radio the next day, so we had
lots of companions in our misfortune.

12 in Utah is an amazing road. Well worth driving the whole
thing.
Would have liked to do it in something other than the RV
pulling the Bronco, but I still enjoyed it.
