Public Service Announcement: Nebraska is Flat and Really Boring

[sawtooth4x4]

I'm out in Nebraska this week for a couple days of work. I'm fixing some idiots PSV (pressure safety valve) design that would kill someone when they go off. Venting emergency blow off valves at a persons feet is not good!!! DOPE!

Anyway. I'm working 1 hour west of Lincoln. The drive is perfectly straight. So straight, I can set the cruise and tie the steering wheel straight and take a nap, if there was no one else on the interstate. Luckily now I have been able to drive I80 in 4 states: Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah and Nevada...wow, I'm lucky.

Thanks. Can't wait to get back to the mountains and inversion.:greg:

Ugh. Lived in western Kansas for a year.. Never-ever-ever again no amount of money is worth that nonsense

 

[Greg]

I was just going to say, Have you been to Kansas?

When you ride it on a Harley with 70 mph side wind gusts its a lot less boring.

I drove the length of Nebraska when I moved here.... after driving through most of Iowa as well. Luckily it got dark halfway through Nebraska so I couldn't be disappointed with what I couldn't see.

I didn't find Nebraska to be that bad on my way to Illinois.

 

[Kevin B.]

Probably because you were on your way to Illinois.

I was just going to say, Have you been to Kansas?

An older friend of mine once said, "I suppose there's a nice part of Kansas; I don't know, I never found it."

I met a girl that was really pretty and she was from Kansas, so I always imagined Kansas as nice haha.

I drove a 1984 Pace Arrow across all of I-80 to New York one summer. Then to Florida and back on I-70. 65mph max with no AC brought the mental pain.
America. has got some wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide open spaces.

I've been driving a Jeep Patriot. I've been rallying the hell out of it. Poor rental car. Its amazing how you get used to the amenities in your land rover. And realize how scrappy American vehicles have become. All plastic all over. That was my snob post of the day.

I80 is way more interesting than I70

 

[Hickey]

I used to think the same thing about Nebraska. Then I went to North Dakota. It makes Nebraska seem down right tropical.

 

[sawtooth4x4]

I've been to North Dakota. I actually lived there for 18 months. It sucked bad. Atleast I was just visiting.

 

[blznnp]

I'll be driving that way this summer, but just passing through. will be in the car by myself so I guess I should be prepared to be bored out of my mind. Going from here to Madison, WI

 

[sawtooth4x4]

Tornados. Another reason I could never live out there. It was scary enough when we lived in North Dakota and Eastern Montana. I just feel safe and secure in the mountains. I've never had a storm that scared me badly in the mountains.

This is from yesterday. Driving Back to Lincoln Nebraska from a job site.
