Nebraska is beautiful! I'd never really spent any time here and I have to say that I loved it and will be back again soon. We spent the day driving Highway 2 across the Sandhills. Beef cattle country -- big time! We saw crop dusters. (One was flying right over the road -- toward us... Actually it was more like he was flying straight at us and looking at the road as a landing strip. He got close enough that Liz and I were contemplating getting OFF of the road so he could have it if he needed it!) But later -- I got a great shot of one on a field as we were driving by. We got sprayed with fertilizer -- but it was worth it.
There are MASS amounts of coal being moved across the state. The trains are close to or just over a mile and half and they come one right after the other. All with identical cars, open-topped full of coal. It was a great reminder as to the value of products and what it takes to make the country run. There are a lot of people working to make my life easy and comfortable...
We drove from Sterling Colorado to Newton Iowa. When we hit Omaha we HAD to see Rosenblatt Stadium where our Beavs won their national men's baseball title. The were having a minor league baseball game AND getting ready for the fireworks display -- it was too crowded to get too close. But we saw the stadium and cruised 13th Avenue. We snapped pictures as we navigated the traffic...
Tomorrow we head for Coshocton Ohio to see our friend from Washington DC 4-H - Rich and his family. Happy 4th of July to you
