Keith County Court House was for us but a brief respite on the lonely thunderstorm-laden drive from…read moreOmaha to Fort Collins, an oasis in the I-80 wilderness. Yes people probably do still drive from Omaha to Fort Collins, or I like to believe we weren't the only ones. Mere minutes off the exit ramp and over the mighty South Platte River is a glorious departure from all that Great Plains architecture. Goodbye Romanesque Revival, move over Renaissance; the Sixties are here! So rectangular, so concrete, so Nebraska-red/white. From the giant PULL handled metal/glass doors to the concrete-block overlay, a tornado could carry this to South Florida to outlast the next hurricane. Floridians would welcome another place to shelter-in-place fitting in with all that Art Deco. We only regretted we couldn't take the tour, but the Veteran's memorial out front is open all year. On a positive note: closed court = walls open. Next stop: grocery store for some Nebraska corn, which we will certainly enjoy once we get our kid out of lockup for that wall-scaling.

The city of Broken Bow is located in Custer County, Nebraska (Basically right in the middle)…read more The town is small but has lights and stuff. Paved roads with slow speed limits. The main drag is on E Street (East/West) between 7th and 9th Streets (North/South). This where the city hall, town square/park and county museum is located. It's crazy how the park square is filled with women w/ babies and stuff chatting with each other. The main drag also has bunch of restaurants and bars. What's there to do in Broken Bow? Jack Sh*t~!!! Sarcasm aside. The main attractions are: 1. Custer County Historical Society & Museum, and the 2. Boneyard Creation Museum. Throughout the town are remnants of Solomon Butcher (photographer). Other than that, this place has a lot of sh*t as in fertilizer. The economy is based on cattle so it smells like it too. For the most part, I just drove through cause when am i ever going to be in central nebraska again. I mean if i have to go to omaha, im flying! since omaha isn't that special either. Food sucks here. Just beef and beer. Safe travelings peeps.

Citizens of Broken Bow allowed a feed lot to be constructed very close to the town, and as a…read moreresult, the downtown square where we were staying at the Arrow hotel smells strongly of cow feces. The flies have also noticed the smell and they are completely out of control.
