Nebraska Travel Blogs

Well, I made the trip from Nashville to Nebraska.  Whew, it was hot.  I finally stopped at a place that I have driven by a bunch of times just inside the Nebraska border, overlooking the Missouri River.  It is a visitor center focusing on the journey of Lewis and Clark west to t…

It's about time someone wrote a TravBuddy blog about Omaha that didn't fall into one of the following categories:1.) the zoo2.) "I was going to City A from City B. I passed through Omaha somehow and here is a photo of me in front of a sign on the highway." 3.) "I went on vacation, here is a photo o…

This was our fourth day on the road but our first day of actual sight seeing.  We were excited about seeing the Black Hills of South Dakota and all the interesting landmarks that we have been reading about for over a year.   We were again blessed with a bright blue sky and cool …

I discovered something important on this road trip. If want to enjoy a whirlpool bath in your motel room... Don't add bubbles. Unless you want to end up in a Jerry Lewis movie We're in Cozad, Nebraska. Not much time to update, we're running late. Eric is throwing the luggage back into the car…

  In het kader van "ik wil terug naar Amerika" en studieontwijkend gedrag, maar weer even een blog in elkaar draaien, over: Amerika! Want 15 mei kwamen Evelien en ik na vele uren vliegen , met daarvan vele uren turbulentie (ik wil de film afkijken! niet zo wiebelen vliegtuig...) en vele ure…

A took the beautiful afternoon off and went hiking in Ponca State Park in Nebraska.  I got there a little late and it was mostly deserted.  First stop was the Tower in Time fountain.  The monument is to recognize the importance of water in the history of time and the natural history …

So last week I asked the people I knew here who have lived in Nebraska what there was to do in Omaha... they said NOTHING... except for the zoo and you need a full day to experience it, not 2 or 3 hours.  So I did some research and really didn't find anything... so I figured we'd get there and…

This was my worst Hooters experience. I had driven from Brighton, CO to Lincoln, NE to visit the archives of American Historical Society of Germans from Russia. I was hoping to gain some additional information for the second family history book I was writing. This one was on my Mom’s side of the …

We made it to Ft. Robinson early afternoon. We rode in a stage coach that was pulled by mules. And they had a mu…

A visit to Nebraska is not complete without going to the Henry Doorly Zoo.  Most of my childhood memories have been from the zoo.  It has grown so much over the years.  I remember the the Cat Complex was new and now there is talk about updating it.  Then I realize that it is abo…

Family Vacation to South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore. We stopped at Devil's Tower on the way up, and the Chimney Rock area of Nebraska on the way back.

Ah! We hit the road again this morning at 10:30, hoping to have a better day today after a great nights sleep. We quickly cut over to Nebraska where we ended up on 20 hwy instead of 12 hwy but enjoyed it none the less. When we realized we were on the highway running parallel but below 12 we just cu…
