Racoons & Corn Fritters

I'm still in Nebraska, home of the corn silo. Lincoln has several of these large structures located on the train tracks. I haven't seen a corn train yet but I have been looking.


Last night Jesus conned Josie to take us to Omaha which is about 50 miles from Lincoln. We went to Dixie Quicks for dinner and it was very good but I would like to return for breakfast which sounded great. I found this restaurant on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and figured I would go if I was ever in Nebraska.


After dinner Josie took us to the Surfside Inn Club on the Missouri River for corn fritters.They only serve two other things, fried catfish or fried chicken.

When you are done with the bones and fried bits you throw them over the fence for the racoons who come right up and grab them. We loved their people-like hands, these little guys have way more dexterity than Simon.



Looking out across the river you can see Iowa, we actually made a wrong turn and drove over the bridge to Iowa at one point. I'm not sure if it counts as a state I visited if it was by accident.

Drive in turnarounds do not count as visited states!!!
