Well, it's about halfway between Evanston and Denver, right on Route 80,easy to get to, and as we have found out, not an unpleasant place. We've stayed in the 1914 home of a local banker--our room is in subdivided top floor ball room, and we dined in a restaurant that had quite good sandwiches and hamburgers. And where else, I tell you, in this country, can you get two lovely micro-brew beers for $2 each! One was a wheat beer similar to a Belgian, the other a Scottish style ale, much more to our Brit preference. Both 16 ounces, too. (355 ml).
The locals decided to restore their warehouse district near the train station (not much used, but it does have an Amtrak office) in 1982, turned it into an Historic District and filled it full of restaurants and evening places.
The state capitol building, rises from prairies with a grand tower over this low-slung mid-western capital, home, of course, to the state's university.
Today it's another river. We follow the Platte River of the pioneers and settlers as they moved west before the railroads. Yesterday, of course, we crossed the Mississippi and the Missouri.
