We aimed Lucy towards a City Park Campground in South Sioux City, NE and while we drove for hours in South Dakota, we ended up jumping into two more states within a 15 min drive. We entered Iowa just so we could cross the Missouri River to get to our campground for the next 4 days on the Nebraska side on the River.
This Scenic City Campground is unique as it does offer reservations but also has 4 First Come First Serve pull through sites with Full Hookup. We arrived and luckily snagged the last one available. We booked it for 4 nights and it was perfect. The site was large and roomy and we added the dog fence plus unloaded Rosalina and the Bikes. It is right on the Missouri River but we did not have a River view, but it was just a short walk aways. The park is next to a YMCA so one has the option to work out or swim there.
We ended up exploring some on the Iowa side first as I wanted to see Trinity Heights, but I also explored the River Boat Museum and the Flight 323 Memorial on the River via my bike. On the Nebraska side we rode our bikes to the Vietnam Memorial. All of it was beautifully honored. The Lewis and Clark Trail one can follow via bike trails for quite a few miles. I loved his bike friendly everywhere we go has been. A big change from our years in Texas and Colorado.
So my love for history is coming alive on our travels and combing this with my love of riding my bike it is magical.
