I have lived in NE almost all of my life and driven all of the roads mentioned. If you are wanting to stay at Lake Mac, you need to know that all of the campgrounds can be accessed from the north side of the lake off of hiway 92. Take 26 from Alliance and just past Lewellen look for NE 92. If you are hitting the lake on the weekend, sites can be hard to come by. We spend time there every year and Lone Eagle is a nice campground right on the lake. If you are wanting to bypass the lake take hiway 2 at Alliance to Broken Bow and Grand Island. This is the most direct route to KC. Fuel is much easier to find that way at Thedford, BB, GI etc.
