The Road to Omaha!

Wendy get her winnings!
Our campsite in North Platte

The four of us at Wild Horse in Gothenburg
The Traveling Salvation Show left Colorado and headed to North Platte to meet our good friends, Wendy and Terry to play golf for three days. We met on Monday night and enjoyed a few adult beverages and some chicken wings. Early Tuesday we headed for Wild Horse golf course in Gothenburg. We played 27 holes of golf and by the time we were done it was pretty toasty outside. Of course we had to quench our thirst back at the trailer and had a fabulous steak dinner prepared by Terry and Kirk while Wendy and I toasted their culinary talents! The next day we played at Lake Maloney golf course, south of North Platte. The boys decided we should play girls against boys and the winners were to have a 10 minute massage. The girls barely won since the boys started to play out of their butts on the back nine. After the first 18 holes we decided to play a 2 person scramble for the next 18 holes. It was very hot and steamy but again we enjoyed a wonderful dinner back at the trailer. Wendy and I collected our winnings that night. As you can see by the picture, Wendy opted for a foot message.
Thursday we packed up the trailer and headed for a last round of golf at Cozad Country Club. The course was not in the best shape, particularly the front nine. Wendy and I foolishly made another bet with the boys for a 15 minute massage. And we also said we would play the white tees while the boys played the blue. What a big mistake! We got our butts whomped! It was a great day for Terry who played a great round of 86!
We had a wonderful time with our friends even though some of us did not play well! We parted company and each of us headed home. HOME! what a wonderful place. We have missed our family and friends and I am anxious to see all the grandchildren. So the Traveling Salvation Show made the trek across Nebraska.
I have to still pay off my gambling debt --- I cannot imagine what body part Kirk will want massaged!
The Campbells Traveling Salvation Show will probably have one more post before it concludes! Stay tuned!
