Nebraska

[wyome]

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?

I don't know what it is but I can't stand that state.

Must be all those 16 round magazines...

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 ...

Nebraska is more interesting to look at than Kansas

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's got wind.

Mostly because CO sucks.

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.
