The Roads Leading Home / September 1 & 2
This time of year has always been difficult for me. Time to exchange “harvest time” with the normal routine once again.
I guess I just like the idea of not having a schedule.
Is that bad?
We left Jordan sorta late the first day. And then we stopped earlier than usual on the 2nd day. So, the typical hard push didn’t happen.
But the heat is on for the weekend and traveling during the hot spells are always a little stressful. But…at least we have less tires on the road than ever before!

Well, Tracy and Jim, thanks so much for the time and memories u folks share with us. And yes, Nebraska is the good life. The most impressive is the neat small places few people stop to appreciate .can't wait to see what the next journey will be. I'll stay tuned. Thanks again for sharing.😊😊😊

Would love to do that! Not sure I’d want to do it in March, though. Could be really chilly!
Now I'm a little more annoyed at myself for taking a wrong turn in Grass Range, MT a year ago and missing the rest of MT 200 to Jordan and the section of MT 59 from Jordan to Miles City. I had turned off of 200 to pass through Grass Range to see the rodeo going on there and when the loop brought me back to the highway, I instinctively turned right again. It was raining hard and I didn't have the sun to tell me I was headed south on US 87 instead of east on 200--that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Having been on a dinosaur excavation project in the Hell Creek Formation some 48 years ago, I was wanting to overnight in Jordan and visit the big digs north of town. OK, I wanted to have a beer or two at the Hell Creek Bar, also. Between the rain and not wanting to turn and backtrack, we just proceeded to Roundup and Forsyth and on over to Miles City to pick up MT 59 there. You passed by the huge laydown yard of the Clearwater Wind Project south of Cohagen along 59. Today is the first realization I've had of its construction. We've passed through Broadus several times and even overnighted at the campground at the 59-212 junction once. We took in an hour of a rodeo there one afternoon. Your pictures of your growing family at the sign over the years are terrific. We've once run down US 83 from Murdo, SD to Valentine, NE but we continued down 83 to Thedford to pick up NE-2 through the heart of the Sand Hills. One of these days, we'll hang around Valentine for a few days and do some cycling on the Cowboy Trail and some paddling on the Niobrara River. The paddling will represent our 3rd piece of river running in Nebraska, having "tanked" the Middle Loup near Mullen, NE twice now. It's a treat to follow your travels and thanks for your efforts to show descriptions of exactly where you are!

I will always remember Valentine Nebraska in the early 70s we were moving our harvest crew and we were involved in a very bad accident ,we were coming down the hill by Valentine and the hydraulic brakes on the truck blew a hydraulic line and the truck with combine freewheeled down the hill and at the bottom the hill was a bridge ,our truck and combine smashed into our leading truck and combine also there was a vehicle with a camper we all met on that bridge we totalled off one combine one truck and the other car with camper were destroyed thankfully no one was killed ,it took our crew most of the evening to clean up that mess off that bridge that was the worst and only accident we had in the 18 years of custom harvesting

Thank you for the offer, John! Maybe it will work out another time.
What to you is a good life? Nice place, less pollutants, less people? Nice economic country situations? For me, its none of the above. Good life for me is that i can be a person who has realized the very nature of life itself! If one is blind to the well-being of life, one will find himself of the good stuffs externally. While for the self-realized person, any place would suit him perfectly!
