You might consider stopping overnight at Mahoney State Park between Omaha and Lincoln. it is a beutiful park along the Platte River. Also the Strategic Air Meuseum (all the planes the air Force has had) is right next to the park. The park will be full on the fourth but by the 6th it should have plaenty of open spaces. Also North Platte has a nice small campground next to Scout's Rest Ranch (Buffalo Bill's house and meuseum) along the North Platte River. you can go to www.npgc.state.ne.us/parks for more info. we are in Omaha--can always come out to Mahoney if you stay there. PM me if you want more info.
