The big surprise of the day was pulling off the interstate for lunch in Ashland, NE and stumbling onto the Strategic Air and Space Museum.  We had lunch in their parking lot.  Trish calls it the “nicest air museum we never went to”:

About 10 miles out of North Platte, well after sunset, we were pulled over by the state patrol.  Turns out our RV’s running lights and turn signals were out.  We pulled into a closed gas station at the bottom of the ramp where we were pulled over.  After crawling around for a couple hours with the multitest meter, I realized that the module that passes the signals from the SUV to the RV had gone bad.  I managed to find a 12V line under the RV and hard-wired it to the running lights line so we could limp into North Platte to overnight at, yes, the Walmart.
