Nebraska is gorgeous! Come visit us!

We LIKE you and you will eat like a king! Yep, we eat like starving farmers here. Steak and eggs for breakfast, hamburgers the size of dinner plates for lunch and homemade tacos the size of tractor tires for supper! Then we go out fishing and drinking and dancing all night! Sleep four hours and get up to feed the dogs and calves and goats and then out to the field in the tractor.


Yeah... This really is "THE GOOD LIFE".

There are no convenience stores in Nebraska. Everything is INCONVENIENT due to the weather. If you want something, you have to stock up in the summer and store it away for winter use.

Do you believe me? Hope you don't because I am lying.

LOL!

The stock tank floating trips (tanking) are great fun! So is inner-tubing! Nebraska actually has more miles of rivers and streams than any other state (close to 23,000 miles), so there are many opportunities to enjoy scenic and relaxing trips.

I don't think the one pix of hundreds of tubers is from Nebraska, but it just looked like a fun shot so I included it.

This is one of the natural wonders of Nebraska. It is a natural spring that comes up through the sand along the bank of the Dismal River. It is approximately 10M in Diameter and 44 Meter Deep. Constant water pressure pushes up through the sand making it impossible for you to sink. The water temperature is at least 15-20 degrees colder than the rest of the river and has a clear layer of spring water about 10" above liquid sand layer.


The Dismal River is aptly named. A trip down it will leave an experienced canoer drained. it is not exactly a white-water river, but it is fast and it is winding and full of deadfall trees around every bend.

I go up to Galax VA a friend has a house there and you can go tubing for miles and his wife drives a couple of miles down the road and picks us up at the store gas station ,ice cream shop and fish bait shop .It is fun to just float along and see the sun through the trees when you look up .
