Thanks for all the input everyone, we've booked country view campground in ogallala, although i really wanted to stay at lake ogallala, it was as someone posted, booked.
Then will be doing a 4 nighter at rafter J. Wanted 5 but took what i could get.
Like originally posted, still want to show the wife the lake, so i figure we can pull across the dam.
I'd like to consider NE 92 Scenic west, and kind of remember it as a kid, but anyone know if the road is worth traveling, i would prefer this route for the fun of it, but i can also visualize it to be a mess conditions wise.
We'll be going from the dam to Chimney Rock, then Carhenge, then ????
