Ever since moving to Colorado from Nebraska two years ago, I
have heard many people comment about how boring Nebraska is. From hearing
complaints about cowboys to the blandness of I-80, I have concluded that the
common person is completely disillusioned about the geographic wonders of
Nebraska.

With this blog, I will further educate others and myself about
Nebraska’s geography by addressing the six different ecosystems running along
the statewide Niobrara River, the badlands of NW Nebraska including Toadstool
Geologic Park, which is close to the Agate fossil bed. Also, let us not forget
about Chimney Rock as well as one of the largest underground aquifers in the
world, the Ogallala.

In
all reality, these jokers, geographically jaded by the common beauty of
Colorado’s Rocky Mountains will probably never learn to appreciate other
beauties within neighboring states. I am fine with that. I simply want to have
the ability to correct naysayers and impress at cocktail parties.
Best,
