So today we got up bright and early (much earlier than I would have liked) and began our long journey to Nebraska. It was going to be about a 9 hours drive with an hour time change making it seem like 10 hours. We stopped at Wall Drugs in SD after about a 2 hour drive. Wall Drugs is this big tourist trap area that a drug store developed to ensure people would stop in Wall SD since other than this large group of touristry stores is the only thing in the town. Probably employs about half the people that live there. Well after filling up with Gas and doing a little shopping we hit the road again to continue our all day drive. We we reached our destination which was a Cabela's in La Vista Nebraska we had to find a place to eat. Our first choice was a Crackle Barrel which is one of my favorite restaurants. But then I decided to check out my Triple D spreadsheet for restaurants in Omaha Nebraska since it was just next door. We found a place called Joe Tess which was a fish restaurant. We decided to give it a try. Should have known we were not going to be impressed when we walked in to a restaurant that sits about 100 people at prime dinner time and there were only 3 tables with people. We order some different items, fried carp was what they were suppose to be famous for. All I can say is it was barely average food. Very disappointing should have stuck with our first choice. Oh well can win them all. Oh, for those who do not know what Triple D is it is a show on the Food Network: Dives, Drive Inns and Diners. Off to Springfield IL tomorrow.
