After we left Rhylander Park, we drove THROUGH Omaha to get to Ft.
Calhoun, home of Ft. Atkinson SHP. Omaha is always very busy.. and
this was the opening weekend of the College World Series... and our
route took us right by the stadium, but the roads were signed well,
and we made it with no problem. Ft. Calhoun (the town) is only
about 30 miles north of Plattsmouth.

The town was hit by bad storms on Mothers' Day weekend, and we saw
many homes with plywood on their roofs and covering windows. Paint
had been peeled off the siding of several houses, and many trees
were down.

Everything looked normal at the park, however...
