We like the neat and tidy farms. Their yards all around the barns and outbuildings are clean and there's no junk piled up anywhere no rusty old tractors no piles of barbed wire nothing. It must be their German heritage. Theyhad large lawns. It looked like they just mowed whatever was growing and voila a lush green http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Nebraska/Grand-Island/blog-331237.html July 1 2008 Into NebraskaRoad Trip Rule Number 2 Never Ever Ever Stay at the Marriot Springhill Inn and Suites in Cheyennne Wyoming....The airconditioningheating is Psycho the bed is the the Worst Ever and the nonfood breakfast is bad beyond belief.

Unfortunately we had to leave early because Aj was exhausted from working all night the prior evening but it was important to attend and discuss the current issues with roadside trapping and it's status at the meeting.. NE falconers were caught in a law change http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Nebraska/Grand-Island/blog-246219.html Just an additional entry to say how great my friends are. I have good friends here...but I have AMAZING friends back home.Check out these pics. That was some handy work with the frosting gals I'm very impressed. Now if only I could've eaten some... http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Nebraska/Grand-Island/blog-139577.html The second day and third I went tru what I call the 800 miles dead zone no digial cell phone signal hehehehe... Any way I got to see land that I have not seen for over 4 years. I forgot how tough is to live in Wyoming and Nebraska. These are lands of real cowboys. You have to be one to survive the winters here hehehehe... Most cities in this area of the country are wide apart in distance li http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Nebraska/Grand-Island/blog-86309.html Slept in probably a little too long this morning then left from my parents' home on the long road to Nebraska. It was a really overcast humid day which unfortunately didn't make for the best scenery to look at. Spotty rain all the way west. Again not a whole lot to report just powering through the long drive on the way back. Again though lots of time to think and reflect. I love drivi http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Nebraska/Grand-Island/blog-72956.html This morning I spent the last 4 hours of my life at my perfectly...um interesting...exjob I had thought about leaving for so long and I had long pictured in my mind just what exactly that moment would be like when I left the building and drove home for the last time. And now quite honestly I can't even remember how any of it happened. So I'm taking off to wherever the open road takes me. http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Nebraska/Grand-Island/blog-71588.html
