Its fun, thats for sure. I dont really want to sell it at all but uncle sam would like to get paid. That would be a neat trip. I drove through there about a month ago and it looked like a blast. I just wish that I could of had the yoda with me to have a little bit of fun.

Yup! Stuff to do all over that state. I like the central and southeast part of the state best. Ifin you like lots of folks to share the trails with Moab is nice. But if ya like to camp out in the desert or forest ya need to get a ways out of Moab. Canyon Lands has a lot of restrictions. But just outside the boundry is public land. It's been calling to with the volume all the way up in stereo for weeks now. The week in the desert will be in Beef Basin south of the Needles District of Canyon Lands.

Anthony, nice looking 58 sitting in front of the yota!! If I remember my county numbers right I might have to sneak out to Phelps Co. and haul it off for me to play with. I grew up in Kearney Co.

I grew up in Wichita county, not much difference between Leoti and Lakin...

When I went to K-State, someone in the registrars office thought I was too stupid to know my county, so they kindly changed it to Sedgwick county. Nearly took an act of congress to get it changed back to Wichita county.


Never mind...after reading more posts, I realized you obviously meant Kearny county Nebraska...

Dlburch, I've been to Wichita Co. a few times over the years, but I was refering to Kearney Co. Ne. Kearney Ne. isn't in Kearney County, just like Wichita isn't in Wichita County. Kearney Ne. is in Buffalo County. Minden is the county seat of Kearney County. This ought to be confusing for folks that aren't familiar with either place. LOL

A little. Minden has a population of about 2500 and is home to a great museum called Pioneer Village. The county is ag with lots of irrigation and cattle feeding.

My family makes it to Pioneer Village about once every 10-15 years... we take family trips every year for dad's b-day. (He ends up paying for every one though) I really like the 58. I grew up in Superior, Nuckolls 42 County.

I am supposed to go to a wedding today in Superior, a racing buddy of mine is getting married in town somewhere over there. I cant say that I have been to superior, that I can remember anyways, atleast during the day. Pioneer Village isnt to far away from my place, about 25 min. away.

I belonged to the Elks when we lived in Superior in the early '80's. It was a great place to eat then. It still was about 10 years ago when I was there for a wedding reception.
