On Our Way to Idaho

We stopped at Army Corp. of Engineer (ACE) campgrounds in Kansas and Nebraska. Cottonwood Point ACE Campground is on the Marion Reservoir southeast of Salina, Kansas. 



Cottonwood Point Campground was a great two night stop.

Our site #102 was in the newest section complete with
50 amp service and a sewer connection. 

Goessel, Kansas, near Marion Reservoir, is in the heart of Mennonite country. We spent the afternoon touring the Mennonite Heritage and Agricultural Museum. Eight buildings in a village-like setting tell the story of Mennonites who emigrated from the plains of Ukraine to the plains of south central Kansas in 1874 and helped turn Kansas into the breadbasket of the world.

After visiting the museum we went to the Bread Basket German Restaurant in Newton, KS. They provided eight different kinds of homemade soup and a fresh salad bar with various homemade breads.

Hunter Cove ACE Campground is on Harlan County Lake near Alma, Nebraska. Upon arrival we discovered only seven of their sites had fresh water connections and we took the last available. The next day we drove around the lake and found Methodist Cove ACE Campground which has easy access FHU sites and was only five miles from US 183. This will be where we stop the next time. With our Senior Pass discount it's worth it to drive a couple miles out of the way.
