I’ve lived in Nebraska for 25 years, they put I80 on/in the most desolate stretch of the state! The real beauty of Nebraska is 30 miles north or south of I80. The Republican river valley, Broken Bow, Big Mac, the Sandhills, Ponca Hill’s, Indian Cave, it is a truly beautiful state, Glad you enjoyed it!

U.S. Highway 30 through the northern Sand Hills is beautiful, too.

[@lisac4590]

HWY 12 (aka Outlaw Trail Scenic Byway) on the north border of Nebraska is beautiful too.

[@rj521]

I went to high school in the Republican Valley. Not mountainous like where I live in the Northwest, but definitely not table top flat. I rode a bike from my friend’s house in Lincoln to his parents house in Omaha. It was 54 miles of rolling hills. Finally the Panhandle is more like Colorado and Wyoming. It is closer to Cheyenne and Denver than Lincoln or Omaha. It does not have the humid weather that is in the rest of the state. There are elk and antelope in that area. Along with trout streams. It is considered the High Plains with an elevation from 3000 - 5400 feet. Also as he says in the video it is in the Mountain Time Zone. Don’t be fooled by the flatness of the Platter River Valley that I 80 follows. Nebraska has some hills.

[@SuperSglenn]

yep I-80 there for convenience. flat stretches with abundance of sand and gravel necessary for construction. the upside is all those small lakes created by the extraction of the sand and gravel. most of them are very clear with good fishing.

As an exchange student from Finland in 2017 fall term, Omaha was a great experience. Here hockey as the biggest sport, packs about 7-10k people at most in an arena, and seeing a cornhuskers game with 80k people packed in was an amazing experience. People were amazing, friendly, and always curious about why I chose Nebraska as a place for exchange. However, UNO was a great place to stay and study in.

As a person born in Omaha, I love western Nebraska the most. Out in Omaha it's very humid in the summer. I've worked with and befriended people who aren't used to to Nebraska's hot summers AND cold winters. Some of the African people I work with say they like Nebraska in the summer because it's like home for them, but they dislike the winters because of how cold can they be here. To me I love it, I can go for a walk in a blizzard (mostly because I'm the only person walking, so I can drink as much as I want on my walk. Then later still get warmer weather that I can still drink to, without freezing.) I love Nebraska, I don't know if I'd even trade it for a solar system.

i80 is a great highway, there are some museums right there, but as an option, I'd consider driving via Lincoln Highway (like from Kearney and to the west). It takes more time, it has less traffic, but at the same moment you drive through the small towns time to time and it is less boring than i80. Also, if you want to stay for a night somewhere on the way through Nebraska - North Platte may be the good option. It is a nice city with food and lodging options (there are also some attractions you may find interesting).

As a native Nebraskan: I like the big open skies and thunderstorms in the spring. I think Runza is ok but everyone I know loves it. Visiting western Nebraska once would not be a waste of time, Fort Robinson and Chadron State Park are pretty cool. You should go tubing down the Niobrara on a hot summer's day. Stop at Smith Falls State Park and see one of the only waterfalls in the state. See the sandhills at least ones. They have their own kind of beauty but be careful because you might be stopped by ranchers herding cattle down the road. It gets hot and humid in the summer and cold and brutally windy in the winter. Henry Doorly zoo is cool if you've never been there, it's great for kids. Wouldn't recommend living here, property taxes are absurdly high.

I drove to Nebraska twice to visit my daughter in Omaha and stayed a week each time. Explored a lot while she was working. I was surprised to see the beautiful Family Shrine sitting atop the hill. Being from urban Los Angeles I was surprised you can be out of town in 5 minutes and driving through corn fields. I was disappointed that there were so many crappy drivers. Was almost killed twice by people running stop signs and red lights. I was surprised that damn near everyone owns a red car. Damn Cornhuskr fans in red cars always seemed to be the bad drivers. I like driving the back roads and really enjoyed the bbq joints north of Omaha. Loved exploring the old train station which is now the ABC affiliate. The bridge over the Missouri River was cool. I came across the national roller derby museum. I never saw a Runza.

Santa Jeff Claus I’m sorry about the drivers here in Omaha. Yes, many are bad! They bug me too! The bridge you speak of is the Bob Kerry pedestrian bridge over the Missouri River, that connects to Council Bluffs, Iowa. It’s just north of the Old Market and downtown Omaha. The old train station is the old Burlington station. The former Union station is now the Durham Museum.

[@jennifernichols9468]

I lived here my whole life and didn't know about the roller derby museum

[@richardnorton9918]

I am not sure the driver's are any worse than those on the 405 or 101.

[@i_am_stupid4136]

When you live in Lincoln you forget that Runza and Valintinos don’t exist anywhere elsewhere

[@kimmontenegro2258]

Makes me want to drive there right now! People there are amazing!

[@susangrande8142]

Why, thank you! 😍

[@pottingsoil]

Nebraska, what a concept.

[@markalexander3048]

Thank you for dissing on Nebraska, it is a great place to raise a family,and we love our small towns.

[@richardnorton9918]

There is no place like small towns in NE and I have been to most states and 35 countries

[@mikesroufe3609]

I agree. My children were raised in Wahoo as I was. I would of never wanted to raise them anywhere else.

[@markalexander3048]

I'm sorry I meant to say thank you for not dissing Nebraska

[@sunandsage]

A little more about the weather from a former OTR driver- a Nebraska thunderstorm will get your attention. Plan on pulling over to the side of the road to wait it out because of no visibility. This is not an exaggeration. I wouldn't plan on snow in the summer.

[@prezac7]

We do have a saying here in Nebraska, wait 20 mins. I have seen the temp change both rise and fall 20 degrees within 20 mins. Be prepared. But yes the storm formations are out of this world here.

[@jimswanson9885]

@@prezac7 Ahhh, the fun of the great plains. Strong fronts always charging from the north and south.Gotta say I love the chaos. The wacky weather also helps scare the weak folks away. ;) Just leaves us crazies!

[@jennifernichols9468]

Very true. Don't forget tornadoes and blizzards.

[@tannerjackson3616]

I've traveled pretty much everywhere in the US to Boston, Florida to California and the one place I always come home to is Omaha Ne not only have I lived here my whole life, there's always something to do as a 27 year old. I love Nebraska truly it's the coolest place ever, and if you do visit hit up downtown Omaha or Lincoln if your looking to party it up. Go Big Red!

[@beverlynelsen9596]

Next time you're in Omaha, please stop and see us at Joslyn Castle.

[@nevermindme8922]

My cousin got married there

[@andym8557]

I lived there for 4 years and wanna go back. I lived in Chadron, an hour from Scottsbluff PS- it takes 13hrs to drive though it

[@jennifernichols9468]

Chadron State College?

[@IamQue402]

Through Nebraska? Its about 6hrs.

[@andym8557]

[@IamQue402]

@@andym8557 anybody that knows, knows that most used route to drive through is about 6hrs. If your coming form the "less populated" parts then that's a different story, obviously.

I live in Nebraska the weather does what it wants

Thanks for the kind review of Nebraska. Enjoy your videos.

[@marcydil209]

I am a Nebraskan, and I very much approve this message

[@jsmith3427]

Camping in small town parks with free electric!! They're everywhere in Nebraska. We toured the entire state in an RV and never once had to pay for camping!!!! BUT make sure you spend money in the towns that do this as a "thank you." Eat at the mom and pop restaurants, go to the local bar, buy your groceries at their town grocer. If you don't then you're just a free loading shmuck to take advantage of these kind folks.

[@brian13anker1]

Hey I used to live in Scottsbluff! Great views up there

[@woltersworld]

serious gorgeous views. Ours were a bit obscured due to the smoke fromt he fires on the west coast

[@andym8557]

Scottsbluff had it's own share of issues, particularly with meth. But besides that, it wasnt a bad place at all

[@rblue2839]

Another museum to visit is the Stuhr Museum-Prairie Pioneer in Grand Island, NE. Also, the University of Nebraska help in developing the technology to form the McDonald's McRib into its boneless back rib shape. 😊

[@wavetranquility4243]

The people from Nebraska seem lovely. I’d love to visit one day!

[@sardogskipper]

Surprise the number one shock wasn't that there's life past Grand island if you're an Eastern Nebraskan

[@richardnorton9918]

You're in for another shock once you get off the interstate. You won't want to get back on.
