YAY, Lincoln Highway, Thanks for taking us along, RVerTV, Russ. 👍

[@tylinall]

Some things never change: we burn wood for heat and open a window for air!!

[@joycehaines2055]

North Platte was my home town, this old barn was the teenagers hangout in the 50's. We danced, sang, climbed around it like monkeys. No drugs just kids having fun. It was all closed up at that time. Gave me goosebumps seeing it again.

[@SeabeeTraveler]

Woohoo! Another interesting trip with RverTV. Lets roll!

[@joemiles6917]

As always I enjoy riding along on another of your great videos.

[@19800910]

Thank you RVerTV for showing us a piece of America that some of us will never see in real life.

[@rhondaallen5063]

You missed a huge tourist stop in Paxton! Ole’s Big Game Bar!! It was in your video downtown, just across the street from the little sitting area. You were so close! Has one of the biggest private owner display trophies in Nebraska of all kinds of wildlife, including a polar bear. Great food too! 😊

[@RitaCampbell-c2p]

Enjoyed the buffalo Bill homesite

[@Phara8471]

Loved everything on the buffalo Bill Ranch, the greenery, trees, the relaxation pond. Watching from Egypt🇪🇬

[@barbarathompson8559]

So many wonderful places he could have showed you from Nebraska.

[@joycehaines2055]

None of that was in barn then. Just a big Ole barn. My grandfather knew him, dad said he used to ride his horse right inside of the taverns in North Platte. A rabble raiser, dad was too. Those tree were there then. Wow! My dad moved our house out of prairie and built a kitchen out of porch, put a hand pump in it, and we lived in it till we moved to Idaho in 58'

[@granvilledcosta]

Love the way you narrate your videos,also brings back a lot of pleasant memories from the road trips my wife and I took. Thank you.

[@lilade9548]

Love your travel videos. They allow me to see the majority of the country that I will most likely never see otherwise. As a native Kansan, I thought you might be interested to know that we call those large silos “grain elevators.” You should see the one in Hutchinson Kansas, it is a half mile long and there is even a longer one in Wichita. Enjoy your travels

[@juliogonzales5441]

THANKS FOR THE RIDE..RUSS 😊

[@yvonnemiranda2918]

Hi Russ..beautiful country 😊 safe travels ❤

[@PastorMarvelleWhitley]

Welcome To Nebraska. We are very proud of our heritage. My Grandmother use to work at Bill Codys ranch in the summer. She use to help feed and take care of the cowboys and soldiers that passed through on their way to various places. In fact there is a picture of her in one of the cabins she use to stay in. She also use to help with the children. She would take the train from Polk Nebraska to North Plate and someone would meet her with the buck board. Take her to the ranch to work till school time and she would leave. That is how she meet Mr Morgan. She worked out there from around the age of 12 till she married at the age of 17. We live in Polk CO. on the eastern part of the state. I am looking forward to going to Quartzsite this winter to visit. I hope you have a good time here in the Cornhusker state. I hope you come back soon. were a great place to see and travel in the spring and fall. till about Nov. Be safe in your travels.. I love watching your channel.. God Bless.

[@missgoodie222ify]

Thanks Russ for the Buffalo Bill tour enjoyed it, safe travels and keep on rolling 🤠

[@rvertv]

Thanks 👍

[@UncleMilty]

I don't think I could do what you do, I'd want to move to all those quaint little towns!

[@joycehaines2055]

My family were all railroad men, remember the movie theater, my aunts and I was watching movie and when we came out of movie a tornado had been through town. My aunt grace used to take me to underpass to wait for tornadoes or high winds to pass from North Platte. THANKS ALOT.

[@lesliegriffith9830]

I remember taking highway 30 across Nebraska back in the mid 60s. The interstate was still being worked on. Boy, did I get sick of those orange highway signs. We stayed at the Western Motel and Cafe in North Platte and shopped at Ft. Medina touristy trading post. And seeing Buffalo Bill's ranch. Thanks for bringing g back Golden memories.

[@rogerhigham3973]

My wife and I will be traveling this road in July on our way to Yellowstone. Can't wait thank you. Another great video.

[@DebbieInOregon]

This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and I want to give you a special thanks for this wonderful trip documentary. Last year I went on an rv trip, leaving home(Oregon) for North Carolina. We got as far as Wyoming and was informed my mom had passed away so we had to book it to Missouri quickly and had to bypass all of our Nebraska sights we had planned. You covered a lot of them in this video which was great. I love to do exactly what you do, visiting small towns and taking in all the history. Love it! Have a special interest in trains and train depots - the train yard in North Platte is the largest in the country. Again thank you so so much for this video. Will be checking out others of yours and looking forward to the continuation of this one. Debbie

[@lastnamefirstname7950]

Great job Russ, next time you’re in N Platte, check out the world’s largest RR switch yard……..

[@pattyvalinote4612]

Great ride! We lived on the old Lincoln Hwy back in Pennsylvania. Thanks for the ride 👍🏻😄

[@Tonymanero1960]

Favorite part is The Grandview Point/ Ship Hotel,.......gone but not forgotten. Greetings from Chambersburg!

[@margopack6343]

Lived in Grand Island for a few yrs, met some great people.

[@wallacespangler8766]

I’ve been bing watching these multiple state crossings and have been hooked. I work a lot so it’s like getting away without leaving my living room lol. Love the sights and commentary. My 65 inch TV makes it look great!! I’ll keep watching all the series, just happened to be on the Nebraska one and just finished the one near the Great Lakes.

Being from this area it is nice to see how green it is for August.

[@kimballamram552]

Nice video of the Lincoln Highway. Ogallala, Nebraska is where the Ogalalla Aquifer is that irrigates a large part of the midwest and also down to the Texas Panhandle and New Mexico. North Platte is home to the largest rail switching yard in the world. It was great to see those grain silos or prairie skyscrapers.

[@callmewheels4806]

The reason you were impressed with the rail yard in North Platte is because IT IS IMPRESSIVE! It is the LARGEST RAIL CLASSIFICATION YARD IN THE WORLD! Enjoy your work.

[@65248940]

Hey Russ! I love the video! I usually drive Interstate 80 when we travel through Nebraska. The Lincoln Highway is cool. My home town of Dixon, Illinois is right on the Lincoln Highway. The highway goes through many small towns in Illinois. It's a great road for a convertible ride. I love your videos! You do very nice work! Thank you for the trip. Take care, stay well!

[@joycehaines2055]

Also I was born in Sutherland and raised in North Platte. Now in small town of Westby, Montana. Born in small town and will die in small town. Cool how life goes in circles.

[@Counsel-fires]

Nebraska is beautiful

[@amputee1967]

[@MrChelsidy]

You missed the Bailey Yard in North Platte which is the largest railroad classification yard in the world. . It covers 2,850 acres, reaching a total length of eight miles,. Put end-to-end, Bailey Yard’s reaches 315 miles. In the second museum the Canteen and the Canteen district refers to a WW2 period when the women of North Platte would feed the all the soldiers passing through town 24 hours a day.

You’re videos are a great escape from current events, always positive and enjoyable, keep up the good work my friend 👍👍👍😁

[@rvertv]

Thank you very much!

[@roeenchayan1704]

North Platte, Nebraska is known for the North Platte Canteen of World Word Ii. Volunteers from all over Nebraska brought food to serve the soldiers who were passing through by train. This continued throughout the war and became one of Nebraska's legends (along with Wild Bill Cody). With rations in place, Nebraskans donated food, automobile gasoline, time and travel to show American servicemen compassion. Please do some research and include this wonderful example of human compassion. (55,000 women participated) Side note: the North Platte rail yard is the largest in the world.

[@carmenfields2146]

Russ, My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed this segment. It was especially wonderful to look up the Olive family and James Kelley. Your videos are so informative . We've gone practically every single video. Thank you! for including us on your travels.💝

Wish you’d have checked out Oly’s in Paxton! It’s a landmark bar/restaurant with lots of stuffed game animals- including a polar bear!!

Sure do appreciate of all the traveling sites that you are sharing. God bless you and keep you safe from Borrego Pass, NM.

Hello Russ. I enjoyed watching your video of your trip on the Lincoln Highway in Nebraska. I have driven on that highway too in Nebraska. I just recently read a biography called the Song of Dewey Beard who was a Lakota Indian who was in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. He witnessed the Battle of the Little Big Horn and was a survivor of the Wounded Knee Massacre. He was the last Native American who was still alive to have been at those two events when he passed away in 1955. My Great, Great Grandparents on my dad's side had a sod home at Atkinson, Nebraska during the 1870's.

[@janpiper3068]

You missed a very neet attraction in Paxton.A display of many trophy animals that were hunted and shot by a past U S President.From all over the world he brought many trophy's back form his hunting trips,we stop there every time we travel through. You should have checked out Sweds Bar.

[@lorilove4706]

Great time and lots of cool stuff!! Enjoyed it immensely.

[@peterselten500]

Hi russ thanks for a great tour the old towns are truly worth seeing . Cheers mate🇦🇺

[@alejack12001]

I enjoy your once in a lifetime videos of the Lincoln Highway through Nebraska. I have seen your others and again quite impressive. To tell the truth, I wanted to drive the Lincoln Highway in 1990; my buddy talked me out of it because of the corn for miles and miles. Thank you for making these videos on places that most of us wouldn't get to see. Yeah, a lot of cool brick streets.

[@rh4791]

LOVE your Nebraska LINCOLN HWY. My husband grew up one block from Lincoln Hwy. We raised our family about 1/2 mile from Lincoln Hwy. There is a lot 15:34 of history in Nebraska. NEBRASKA IS NOT ALL FLAT. Go about 50 miles north from LINCOLN HWY and the hills are gorgeous. Along the Missouri River there are hills. The Niobrara River has much history also. Hwy 20 along the northern part is FULL of history. No one thinks to go beyond I-80. They miss soooo much. Tornadoes are mostly Spring time. August is a calm month.

[@lindamartin2045]

Very nice trip. Think giant hail stones are as stressful as a tornado. Be safe.😊😊

[@lynbenoist2956]

I love your videos Russ. Have you ever thought of applying to do voice overs for a documentary? Read a children's book. Your voice is so pleasant to listen to. Good job! I live pretty much alone, you have so much fun. 😊

Looking forward to seeing the rest of this series! I live less than a block from the Lincoln Highway in Nebraska, and I find that most people have no idea what the Highway was all about, and what it represented to early travel in the U.S.

[@lastnamefirstname7950]

Grand Island Ne , gas station on 30 has a Seedling highway segment behind it …

[@mareerogers364]

Thanks so much for filming the storyboard featuring Black cowboy James Kelly. I paused my TV so I could read it. Lot of great history out West. I've visited a few of the museum on your channel. In Arizona Tucson area you have a great museum about buffalo soldiers at the Army Fort Huachuca and a great museum of the West near Trail Dust Town. Love taking the journey since health issues have slowed me down.

[@bradboustead1682]

I think there is a sign in the barn that says Buffalo Bill lost his fortune to an Arizona mining swindler.

If you would have continued to Gothenburg then you could see the Pony Express Fort still standing. I remember visiting it when I was younger. I grew up in North Platte. I visited Buffalo Bill’s Ranch and Fort Cody. Paxton is home to Ole’s bar and grill. He was a big game hunter and there are a lot of mounted animals inside!!

Hey Russ…. Missed you!!

I always thought Buffalo Bill was a PT Barnum type, more of a showman. Turns out he was the real thing.

[@rh4791]

Friends parents were friends with Bill Cody. He even gave them a leather sofa and a buffalo hide.

[@edithtrowbridge1775]

The locals dont think the ramps are great. Divided their town. The railroad is all powerful. Think of the little old people who used to cross to shop and visit.

The platte river is a big deal also.

[@donotcare330]

As a Truck driver. Highway 30 is extremely miserable to drive, especially west out of Grand Island and all the way up to Ogallala. Plagued with motorists failing to maintain their speed, other drivers that wont offer courtesy by occasionally pulling off onto the shoulder to allow others that want to drive the speed limit to pass.
