View Full Version : Nebraska
Saw a truck last time I was up at Lake Mac that had "Cousin's Cousin" with a heart around it on the side window and "Just Married" on the back of the truck. Tried to pull out my phone and snap a pic real quick but we had already driven past it [Shock]

I just passed through on my way to Iowa.
What a freak show.

Lived in Hastings for 4 years. Let me know if you have any questions. For the most part, I really liked that town, and the area surrounding is pretty nice. The old ammo depot out East of town was pretty fun to explore. Most of the WWII Navy munitions came from Hastings. The ethanol plant stank when the air was blowing that way.
I want to say it was usually around a 6-7 hour drive from Denver Metro. Juniata was West, trying to remember what might have been SE.
It's got wind.
Yes, this. Cold cold wind in the winter.
We saw a bachelorette party using a school bus when we drove through. We were stopped at a gas station and this school bus rolls in with some adult drawings on the front and inflatable penis sticking out the window. Then about 8 ladies got out to use the bathroom and give come hither looks to young men leaving the parking lot. I have pictures around here some where.
Don't get me wrong. I wasn't trying to disrespect the state. Just the people who live there. They are all really weird and most of them are funny looking.

Still better than California by a long shot then ... and I'll take Nebraska over California, New York, New Jersey, or Illinois any day of the week ...

No questions, know a few folks there our self, and say a 50 mi radius from hastings proper.
I spent about three years in Omaha one winter...[off-yourself]
Iowa is a nice place, but I get pulled over everytime I drive through that state. The state and locals use pretexts whenever possible. The last time was the final straw (obstructed tag while driving four miles under the posted). I will drive through Illinois, New Jersey, and New York before I will spend a dime in Iowa on anything other than official business.
Nebraska is more interesting to look at than Kansas [Flower]

Atleast you only need a steering wheel every 67 miles...
Lived in Hastings for four years thanks to the Air Force. Hate the state as a whole, but always thought the Hastings area was nice. Did a lot of bird hunting out there....and always thought that Blue Hill would make a nice place to retire to.
I don't know what it is but I can't stand that state.
Corn allergy?

Indeed. If you ever think I-80 is boring, try i-70 in Kansas. I-80 will suddenly seem extremely scenic.

I have a good buddy who graduated from Hastings College. He loved it out there. Visited him the year after he graduated and love the town. The hunting camp at the old depot was awesome. Turned one of the storage buildings into a pretty sweet little club house/bar, and the skeet range was awesome. I might go up there one year for bird hunting...
Don't worry about Ray, he's just mad because the gas station he went to was sold out of Cheetos. Nebraska isn't so bad. Besides, they don't have any pro teams, that's why they all are so hardcore Huskers fans.

All you haters can pound sand. We are all intelligent, conservative and exceptionally good looking. And Big Mac has better walleye fishing than anywhere in CO.

I'd rather be in NE than KS any day. It took me several visits and about three years before I found a good steak house in Omaha: The Drover.
And they do love their team. And if you drive the secondary roads, the pick up truck drivers wave to each other.
Great thunderstorms roll through Omaha as well, very entertaining for the out of staters. The Holiday Inn makes a great bacon cheeseburger.

Last few years Nebraska has had better bird hunting compared to Kansas. I still would love a section in either state for hunting. Colorado farmers have yet to get a clue about fence line to fence line planting and over grazing their land. The education is happening but at such a slow pace.

Hastings Proper he says. ROFL
Know how I know you're from the big city? I lived in Nebraska for 18 years and never heard anyone refer to any town in the state as '[town] proper'. In Nebraska when you say Hastings people know WTF you're talking about. lol

I grew up in Nebraska. 18 years was enough. Not where I wanted to be any more, but Omaha has a hell of a standard of living. Get out in the boonies and you'll find some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
...and in case you guys haven't noticed, Colorado is loaded with freaks that should have been institutionalized or just plain locked in the basement.
...and if you think the I-70 drive is boring, try I-80 driving West out of Salt Lake City. The sign that says "Absolutely nothing 128 miles" isn't lying. Well... there's salt.
Born and raised in Hastings, they have a fantastic museum with lots of bang sticks and a now closed 'bone room' of indian artifacts.
Nice place but I'm glad I'm here!

Yeah, Tooele to Wendover is one huge salt flat. There is a reason people set land speed records out there [Flower]
I do find Omaha amusing. Every time I pass through the radio is talking about traffic congestion, jams, whatever. I hit Omaha at 5:00 pm the other day and went straight through on I-80. Check out the picture of my speedometer. Try doing that in Denver at 5:00 in the afternoon.

I can't do that on I-70/I-25/US 36/I-76 between 4 and 6:30... Last time I drove through Omaha I hit traffic, it was a travesty! I had to slow 5 MPH for 2 miles! 2 MILES! Outrageous.

You can thank Hastings for Kool-Aid, it was invented there. Your welcome!

Fort Robinson and the surrounding area up North. Great place to checkout.

Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt.
We went on a field trip there when I was a youth and the part that stood out to me the most was being on a school bus for what seemed like weeks to get there and back.

Meh, it should be Colorado's panhandle. Nobody on the East side of the state gives a shit about those on the Western side of the state and we all tend to align a lot more with the ideals of Coloradans... well.. until the last decade or so anyway when CO decided to get all violet/blue.

It's a more cornfed handle than the one Oklahoma has.
I do miss the sandhills, runzas (both the homemade ones and the restaurant), Dorothy Lynch, the type of pizza they made in my hometown, that they don't make anywhere else, the rodeos, etc. It's not a place I wanted to live in my 20s and most of my 30s, but it was an amazing place to grow up, and someplace I'd consider going back to. That being said, small town politics, gossip, and issues can be as brutal sometimes as any corporate or government politics. I have a bunch of friends who never left and they complain about it all the time. Like anything, the grass is always greener...

Vice-Grips were invented in Dewitt, NE
The area just south of Chadron looks exactly the same as here in Bailey.

RUNZAS! I can smell them and my mouth is watering

I miss the deals they would do where the temp at 10:00am was the price of your Runza. Dummies always did it in the winter when it was guaranteed to be below zero in Nebraska. Us poor high school kids would go load up and they had to start adding qualifies... have to buy a drink... $0.25 minimum.... one per customer. The drive-thru's would be around the block by 11:30am. Their ranch & fries was the cat's ass too! lol
There used to be a Runza Hut in Loveland, if you have the craving. No idea if it's still there, but it was right on Garfield/287...
Edit: Actually 2204 N Lincoln...Garfield runs south...

Yeah, there's still one there. There's one in Fort Collins too on Lemay South of Drake.
