Rising City, Nebraska


We made our home with Bart & Lynne Ruth in Nebraska for a very relaxing few days over the weekend. Between dinners and brunch and drinking margarita's in the pool we did manage to put some time into looking at Bart's farming operation & also had a look around a local 6000 head dairy. We really enjoyed our dinner Sunday night with Lynne, Bart & Bart's parents and owe them a big thank you for making us feel so welcome in their home.
(I should make one comment as this has confused some people we have spoken to at home who have been trying to track our travels: many places in the USA are named '........ City', this by no means reflects the size of the town & many of these 'cities' as they are called have a population from 500-1500 people).
After leaving Rising City we drove back to Lincoln for Bruce to meet with Ken Cassmen, a climate change expert at the University of Nebraska & travelled onto Valentine, South Dakota.
