Nebraska Passport

We took the less traveled road on the way home to Colorado today. After breakfast at Popo's, we packed up the car, said our good-byes and hit the road. We went through central Nebraska and hit four stops in the Nebraska Passport program. We toured a chalk mine and hiked to the top of the bluff outside of Scotia, grabbed Runza and toured the historic Arrow Hotel in Broken Bow, stopped by the Fort Cody Trading Post in North Platte, and did a fly by of Front Street Saloon in Ogallala. 

Our trip took a couple hours longer, but it was more of a vacation than just a drive. I actually can't believe over the 20+ years of driving back and forth that I have taken a different route before. What fun to check out some parts of Nebraska I'd never seen.
