Meh, I wore a t-shirt dress to my sons concert tonight, so it's not exactly cold yet... The only thing that changes here is the weather so everything else is accurate 😅
I grew up in western Nebraska and am so glad you did this video. I am always telling people that Western Nebraska is beautiful and you just can't imagine it until you visit it. Good job in portraying it's uniqueness and fun things to do! Glad you tried a Runza and didn't think it tasted like a burp in a bun. Now I have to check out that podcast!
My fathers family are all from Scottsbluff/Gering. Grandpa and Grandma built a house in the Wildcat Hills. I just took my wife and daughter to the Monument for their first time in August. She had a wonderful time. Also, we were able to introduce her to Runza. Good times.
I'm a lifelong Nebraskan. I am so glad that you have helped dispel the thought that we are a flyover state! The diversity in geography is amazing. The best parts of the state are not on I-80! You really found a lot of the gems. I enjoyed this video immensely! You have a new sub!
Hey guys😊 first off, let me say thank you for your Channel we truly enjoy all of your videos. So we went tanking yesterday in Mullen, a decision based entirely on this video. Wanted to let you know, not only was it a complete blast, but Chris, the owner remembered you guys and went on and on to say how grateful he was for your UA-cam video on his operation. He was such a cool guy, very thankful for our business, and made the comment that he really needs to reach out to you two to say thank you for all the business your video has brought him. I thought you would really enjoy knowing that you have truly made a difference for him. (His words exactly.) ❤🎉 Keep doing what y'all do! You are appreciated for sure. 👍
WOW! That is so cool to hear! That really made our day and really makes us feel good! Sometimes the grind of making videos wears on us, but when we occasionally hear things like this it tells us we're doing something right! Thanks for letting us know and for watching our videos! ❤❤❤
OMG..THANKS. I am a native Nebraskan from Omaha. You did a super great job of showing off wonderful places in Nebraska. So many people drive across Nebraska on I80 and miss all the state has to offer. Well done, from Ft Robinson to the capital. You certainly highlighted Nebraska at its best. Oh, have not had a Runza in years, they are the best. Well done, 👍🥰😄👍
We made it a point to stay off the interstate as much as we could! Nebraska was such an awesome surprise! We need to get back to Omaha to see more! Runza was 👌👌
Been living in Lincoln Nebraska for 6 years now. We absolutely love it here. So much to do all the time. Lots of family activities and community events. We have convinced several family members and friends to move out here and they love it. Pleased to see you visit us and show the beauty of our home..
TOO much to comment, the river trip, never saw a flight of coffee, the Capital building, food, bloopers etc etc! You guys are just so darn cute thanks for showing us this amazing state! ~Cara 😊
Well planned trip across Nebraska. If any bicycle people are watching this vlog You must try biking Western Nebraska. Don't forget to Pick up some Runzas for the evening meal. The Summer heat can be very unforgiving, so if you are biking spring and Fall are the best time.
Thank you for showing us western Nebraska! I always stay in Omaha when I visit and now I am excited to explore out west. Your videos are always such a pleasure to watch.
I'm surprised you didn't get to go to the zoo. That's generally what people come to Nebraska for. When you are in Iowa there is a great place in council bluffs called tastee treat. Highly recommend it
We know it’s a big deal there, but we’re not big zoo people so maybe another time. There’s lots more to see and do that interests us much more in Nebraska We’re excited for Iowa! Thanks for the recommendation
I grew up in Fremont, and now live in Topeka (Kansas). Next time, DEFINITELY check out Arbor Lodge in Nebraska City (one hour south of Omaha); it’s the former home of J. Sterling Morton, the founder of Arbor Day.
There are actually 2 original Pony Express stations that you can visit in Gothenburg and Cozad. There are spots where you can still see wagon ruts from the Oregon Trail.
I live about 4 miles from Scotts Bluff National Monument in the Nebraska Panhandle. I always enjoy how other people interpret my home. I have traveled to a lot of the places you mention and you are right, Nebraska is underrated. Thanks for visiting.
I love when he got on top of the butte that he yelled Wahoo. Wahoo, Nebraska is actually on the other side of the state. lol I can't remember the exact year, had to be mid to late 1970s, bugs were so bad, you had to pull over every few miles to clean your windshield.
Sure is pretty this time of year. Y'all should try it in the winter, AND have a breakdown with your Peterbuilt! Yee-Haa!! I was never so thankful to get out of there. It was only -30 with the wind chill. Yep, sure was purdy🙂 Love it there in the fall.
First comment to Adam: Congratulations to your hometown Houston Astros on winning the World Series! Second, an illustration of the difference y'all make goes like this: Me before A+K in 2019 - I go to Lincoln, I take a few pictures outside the capitol, I keep walking. Me with A+K in 2021 - I go to Bismarck, I go right up to the 18th floor in the capitol, I see things! One thing I did see in Lincoln was the Larsen Tractor Testing Museum since the University of Nebraska is world famous for testing tractors. They let me sit in a test mule, which was really cool. People back in Michigan were scratching their heads when I said I was taking a vacation to Iowa and Nebraska, but it was one of my favorite trips ever. I didn't know I was Bobbing, but I did it! I think I was there about a month before Omar got there and it was before the RiverFront renovation was done, so it's cool to see how that looks. I hope Field of Dreams in Dyersville is in your Iowa plans!!! They built it and you need to come! :) (And the whole Driftless Region along the Mississippi... beautiful.)
Hey James! We were just talking about you yesterday and saw that we never responded to this comment! Please accept our apologies! I was so relieved when they won! I actually didn't watch much of the series...only game 1 and the final 5 outs of game 6. I was a nervous wreck that whole week. Phew! We're glad we could inspire you to see even more! ND has a pretty cool capitol building. That tractor testing museum does sound pretty neat. Nebraska has a ton of cool spots that we got to see. We were pleasantly surprised! We definitely want to see the Field of Dreams! I hope the route for RAGBRAI goes through Dyersville. If not we'll still try to squeeze it in. They built it so we gotta go! Again, sorry for not responding for so long! We hope you're doing well and happy holidays!
Ah, so the RAGBRAI is the big plan for Iowa! Looking forward to this! Just don't forget baseball in the corn... No worries at all on not commenting - I know you're busy! In the meantime, you're inspiring even more of my travels. I have both family and friends in Albuquerque, so I'm doing a road trip from Detroit to ABQ and back. I hiked at Ha Ha Tonka State Park today and I loved it! It was everything you showed plus a natural bridge! Thank you as always! Tonight I'm in Hot Springs, Arkansas and I'll be hitting the national park tomorrow before moving on to OKC. 😀
Wow, what a road trip! You always inspire us with how much awesome stuff you squeeze into your trips! We hope you enjoyed Hot Springs. Did you manage to go into one of those bath houses?
Yes, today was a full day! I started by combining the Hot Springs Mountain Trail with Gulpha Gorge and Goat Rock. Then I hit the Grand Promenade and the Fordyce Bathhouse. I also touched some of the Baseball Trail. The rest of the day was inspired by your videos: Hawksbill Crag (just amazing in person!) and the Oklahoma City National Memorial at night (beautifully solemn). Staying in OKC tonight then on to Carlsbad tomorrow.
The Blackstone Hotel is also where the Reuben sandwich was invented. The hotel has a new name but still exists, and you can get butter brickle ice cream and a Reuben there.
That carhenge was certainly nicer than the cadillac ranch which is nasty, IMHO. Love when cities show a bit of humour, ie the troll under the bridge. Now yer talking, coffee ice cream! Amazing Capitol building! Another entertaining video! Thanks for sharing.
I love when you go to places near me! I’ve lived in the Midwest my whole life and didn’t know Nebraska had its own mini badlands 😂 I WISH you had the time to explore the zoo for a day! It’s so fun! There’s also a great fudge and candy shop in old market I wish you’d gone to as well! All the more reason to come back 😉
How fun is tanking!! Adding it to the bucket list for sure. We have a replica Stonehenge on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge that’s fun to go to, the cars are a unique spin! 🤩
Hey , just watched this video and we are now planning our trip to Nebraska 😆. Quick question i noticed your pup was not tanking with you. Are dogs allowed to go tanking?
Nebraska is an amazing place with so much to offer! I don't see why someone couldn't take their dog with them. You'd just have to ask the company. Our dog Kona would not have done well in that situation haha
Nebraska is awesome! You hit some great spots. We actually have a different name for the capitol building, not the Tower of the plains, but ***** of the plains... Enjoyed the video! Great work.
I live in North Central Nebraska, there's more in Neb. Than you could ever imagine! It's sooo beautiful, great places to eat, some eateries are hidden so you have to do some hunting😉 Enjoy😁 And...Nebraska has one lighthouse, located at Lake Miniature.
I was a little sad when I saw that you were skipping Iowa since you were so close, but then you mentioned that you were making plans to come visit in the future. 🙂 I will say that western Nebraska is much more beautiful than what I imagined it would be. We have always just driven through as it was very straight and flat, but what you showed us today is anything but flat! If you want any advice on places to see in Iowa, let me know.... I'd love to help! I was also relieved to see your vlog today after convincing myself that you had been taken. 👀🤣🤣
Fantastic video! Wish y’all could’ve made it to Robbers Cave Tour in Lincoln. It’s so awesome and highly recommend for anyone watching this to go check the cave out! You’ll love it!
Thank you guys so much for visiting my state people don’t get that one e you go there you think lots of things are good I live super close to the biggest city in Nebraska which is Omaha.
Loved seeing your time in one state! How long was that tanker float? Hope you go to the Field of Dreams set when you visit Iowa - it's just like heaven! ;)
Thanks for putting us on the map ya western Nebraska the pan handle is completely different from the rest of Nebraska more like Wyoming instead. Cool you guys had a runza cabbage burger there yummy but pricey. 🦅🇺🇲
Just found this in my recommend and, have lived in nebraska most of my life if you go back you should check out homers records a cool record store which has, vinly cds and, other related music stuff there's also fort cody in north platte which a cool tourist trap about buffalo bill and, if you do go to the omaha zoo I haven't been there but there's a fast food chain that's king kong themed near by
I live in Omaha Nebraska and later after this video we had the lowest temperature in Omaha history and now it’s in the 40’s so that’s something else for you to know
The fun part of Nebraska is more accessible to people who lives in Wyoming South Dakota and Colorado, not the majority of Nebraskan that lives in Lincoln and Omaha area. 🥲🥲🥲
If you come back to Nebraska in January and February on a Tuesday, you can get a Runza for the cost of whatever the temperature is outside. Meaning if it's 10 degrees it costs 10 cents, and if below zero, FREE RUNZAS! (with purchase of fries and drink). About the only thing to look forward to in Nebraska in the winter
It's crazy how many people skip over the middle of the United States specifically Nebraska it has so much to offer yet most only look for a big city with lights. I appreciate you guys stopping in Nebraska and showing others how much Nebraska has to offer.
I’m a fifth generation California, and have not seen much of the Midwest. But I’ve always wanted to see South Dakota and Nebraska. I’ve heard so many good things about Nebraska, and this video has really fed this desire to plan a trip there.
This video was sooo awesome! I never knew that Nebraska was so full of all that beauty! Spectacular drone shots! This was just such a fun video from the tanking (all those bumps into things were funny), the alpacas spitting at you both 🤢😂 and the bloopers! Great work you three! 😘❤️❤️❤️🐶🥰
As somebody from omaha, i'm deeply grateful you made this video. I believe we arent well enough represented and this will definitely help! Thank you so much and we are glad you enjoyed our city!!
I’m from Lincoln and you just gave me so much enjoyment and inspiration to explore my own state more. So glad you got to experience a lot of unique places in Nebraska.
I am so glad you guys made this video. While many people are aware of the badlands areas (and national parks) of the western Dakotas, many do not realize that there are beautiful badlands areas of western Nebraska and Kansas as well. ❤
I grew up in the Sandhills, went to high school in Mullen, and live in Lincoln. We used to go tanking in the summers all the time, and my classmates and I used to go swimming in the river right where you finished the tanking trip. This is easily one of the best videos on visiting Nebraska I've seen! Thanks for honoring our beautiful state!
We moved to Omaha about 3 years ago once my husband got his own truck. He’s OTR so we get exposed to some really beautiful places and some ugly. I will say though, I put my foot down with Nebraska. When we got here everything was so green and beautiful and we just blended in with the people. My son loves nature, so I’m always looking for somewhere to take him. This video is so helpful. We take random drives to Lincoln too. I wouldn’t ever move from here!
Nebraska really blew us away also! It seemed like a great place to live! Beautiful nature spots, cities, parks, small towns and so much more. We're glad our video is helpful! Thanks and thanks for watching!
This video was AMAZING! So glad that you were able to visit with your parents. Love the way that your incorporate history into the beautiful views! Most beautiful state capitol that we have ever seen! Thank you!
Ok 18 mins in and I have to comment! WOW you guys never disappoint! Always thought Nebraska “Cornhuskers” you’ve shown us so much more than expected & the drone shots! Wow…on to the rest of the video….~Cara
Quite literally the best, most fun video I’ve ever seen made about this state I call home. So glad you guys enjoyed it and spent time in Western Nebraska! I know you guys would just love the zoo!
As someone who lives in Nebraska and has 35 years... you missed a lot... It’s not all plains and cornfields by any means... But damn it we don’t want people knowing this 🤣🤷🏻♂️
Born and raised Nebraskan. We went to fort rob every year for summer vacation, it’s one of my favorite places in the state, I am so glad you were able to visit. In the summer you can go into more of the buildings, it’s a great places for a calm family centered trip!!
Since my paternal grandpa was the only boy with 7 sisters, the Army kept him state-side during WWII (that mattered back then), & Fort Robinson was where he was stationed; he trained dogs to go overseas & fight. He actually lived his entire 95 years in Nebraska. Summer of 1989, after I finished 4th grade, my family took a vacation out to western Nebraska & my dad identified the window of a building that was where Grandpa’s quarters were when he was stationed there.
So glad you finally made it to NE! Would have been a blast to see you walking through the old market. I've been to all the places you highlighted. Oops, I have not tanked yet! We did tube down the Niobrara River in Valentine, NE. You certainly saw and did a lot!! WTG guys!!
I enjoyed watching your trip through Nebraska. Great video. One day, hopefully in the near future, you’ll have more time to come back and spend a few days in Omaha. It has SO much more to offer and see/do than you had time for in your current trip. Safe travels!
Thank you! I grew up in Nebraska and love how well you portrayed the state! It’s a beautiful place with mostly wonderful people! I’m embarrassed to say that you did some things in a week that I hadn’t done in 32 years living there. Some day I hope to move back to Nebraska and this video really shows why. It’s not just a flyover state like most people think.
@@AdventuresofAplusK I’m so glad! If you go again when it’s warm, check out Valentine and Smith Falls State park along the Niobrara River. You can tube down the river and it’s a beautiful area in the Sandhills.
We planned to go to Smith Falls, but it was closed while we were there and we probably would have tanked the Niobrara instead of the Middle Loupe, but the Middle Loupe was gorgeous too!
Well, you certainly opened my mind about Nebraska! This is a great message about the "flyover" states. I LOVED the tanking sequence! That looked so fun! And btw, you got a glimpse of the past with those bugs on your windshield. Back before pesticides decimated our insect populations, getting your windshield covered in dead bugs was a daily thing (unless one lived in a city perhaps). Things really began to change in the late 90s. I can't remember the last time I had to clean bugs off my windshield, including during my travels around different parts of the country.
There is so much to see and do in NE! Oh wow! I’m sure it’s much more pleasant to live and drive without all the insects but I know it hurts animals and environment that need all those insects. Thanks and thanks for watching!
Wait, what? Oh dear I was way off in my guess! We enjoyed western Nebraska, we made a stop that way earlier this year. I'm super excited that this video is almost 45 minutes long! Gonna finish watching 👀
What a wonderful and fun video. I was born and raised in Nebraska and feel you both did an amazing job of showcasing our state in 5 days. There are many fantastic things that you weren’t able to cover but rank so high on list of things to see and do. Ashfall, in the northern portion of the state, is a most incredible area that paleontologists from around the world come to see. It is a Pompei type setting where ash from a huge volcanic eruption 10 million years ago left incredible 3-D remains of rhinoceros, camels, horses etc. Truly one of a kind site that should not be missed. There is also a section of the Old Lincoln Highway in Elkhorn, just outside Omaha, that is still the original brick used in the first highway that ran across the United States! North Platte is home to the North Platte Canteen station that 2 to 8 thousand WWll troops passed through DAILY and were served meals and support by a town of only 1200 people, EVERY day of the war, open 24/7, free of charge by volunteer residents. Incredible historical story. Zoo is in the top 5 in the entire nation.If you are a visitor to Nebraska try to include these things in your itinerary. You won’t be sorry.
Great episode. We drive through Nebraska a couple of times a year. The Sandhills region is super underrated. When you were in Mullen Adam was only minutes away from one of America's greatest golf courses, Sand Hills. Next time don't miss Oregon Trail Ruts and Register Cliff just across the Wyoming border in Guernsey, WY. Runza's are . . . um . . . different.

Meh, I wore a t-shirt dress to my sons concert tonight, so it's not exactly cold yet... The only thing that changes here is the weather so everything else is accurate 😅
When you come back, the Niobrara Valley is beautiful. Smith Falls is also a big tourist attraction.
Unfortunately Smith Falls was closed for construction during our visit, but it was on the original list!
@@AdventuresofAplusK guess you'll have to come back. Indian Cave state park in Southeast Nebraska is also be on your list.
Better to avoid 😮😢
I grew up in western Nebraska and am so glad you did this video. I am always telling people that Western Nebraska is beautiful and you just can't imagine it until you visit it. Good job in portraying it's uniqueness and fun things to do! Glad you tried a Runza and didn't think it tasted like a burp in a bun. Now I have to check out that podcast!
i tell ppl you have to get off the interstate. ☆ & stay a while... 🌳 🦟 ⚡🐞 🦗 🛤️ 🚣🏽♀️ 🐎
What part of Western Nebraska are you from? I live in Ogallala, close to Lake McConaughey
It is a hidden gym. Lake Mac is a cool reservoir out there too!
My fathers family are all from Scottsbluff/Gering. Grandpa and Grandma built a house in the Wildcat Hills. I just took my wife and daughter to the Monument for their first time in August. She had a wonderful time. Also, we were able to introduce her to Runza. Good times.
@@kelsyhelene I say the same thing!

Oh nebraska is definitely a fly over state, don't get it twisted.
@@noneya2567 it's certainly not for everyone.

@@AdventuresofAplusK except your whole video is about Nebraska not Kansas
TOO much to comment, the river trip, never saw a flight of coffee, the Capital building, food, bloopers etc etc! You guys are just so darn cute thanks for showing us this amazing state! ~Cara 😊
There’s so much to see and do there! Thanks as always!

The drone shots really add another layer to the already beautiful landscape. The views are something we'd never know from the ground.
We love using our drone! We fly it as much as we can. The perspective you get is amazing! Thanks and thanks for watching!
You always sure seem to squeeze the most out of wherever you go! That coffee flight was so unique as well as going down that river!
We try to do as much as we can! The coffee flight was 🤌
It’s all unique
Thanks. Once again you guys rocked it….go middle states 💪💪💪. Lots of wide open spaces and lots of local CG, love city parks!!!
I grew up in Fremont, and now live in Topeka (Kansas). Next time, DEFINITELY check out Arbor Lodge in Nebraska City (one hour south of Omaha); it’s the former home of J. Sterling Morton, the founder of Arbor Day.
Thanks, A + K. My wife saw your video and is planning our 2023 road trip to .....Nebraska!!
Woohoo! That’s awesome!
There are actually 2 original Pony Express stations that you can visit in Gothenburg and Cozad. There are spots where you can still see wagon ruts from the Oregon Trail.
Very cool! We just drove across Nevada and saw several Pony Express stops. Interesting history!
Western Nebraska is the best kept secret for people that truly enjoy nature
Great to see some of the great places I visited in mid-september this year, through your eyes. 😊 Thanks a lot.
I live about 4 miles from Scotts Bluff National Monument in the Nebraska Panhandle. I always enjoy how other people interpret my home. I have traveled to a lot of the places you mention and you are right, Nebraska is underrated. Thanks for visiting.

I live in Nebraska so welcome! Welcome to the beautiful state
Great History and wonderful views all around
I was just trying to figure out stuff to do in Nebraska, so timely for me!
Perfect!
As an Omaha native I'm glad you had a good time in the state I call home!!!
What an awesome video! I had no idea that Nebraska was so beautiful!! It is definitely on my visit this this year!
Thank you for sharing!!
I love when you go to places near me! I’ve lived in the Midwest my whole life and didn’t know Nebraska had its own mini badlands 😂
I WISH you had the time to explore the zoo for a day! It’s so fun!
There’s also a great fudge and candy shop in old market I wish you’d gone to as well!
All the more reason to come back 😉
That’s right! So much to see and do! We had a great time!

Epic Adventure…loved the scenery and drone footage…glad to see you found tacos and ice cream…thanks
We’re always on the hunt for tacos and ice cream!
Nebraska is awesome! You hit some great spots. We actually have a different name for the capitol building, not the Tower of the plains, but ***** of the plains... Enjoyed the video! Great work.
😱😂 we could never call it that on the vlog but that’s what we’ll be calling it from now on off the vlog! 😂😂 thanks and thanks for watching!
I live in North Central Nebraska, there's more in Neb. Than you could ever imagine! It's sooo beautiful, great places to eat, some eateries are hidden so you have to do some hunting😉 Enjoy😁 And...Nebraska has one lighthouse, located at Lake Miniature.
How cool! Thanks for sharing
Now you know why The Cornhuskers were once called The Bugeaters.
1st half of this video you two shared parts of Nebraska I would have never expected to be part of the state
We were pleasantly surprised too!
Just watched Feed Phil in Austin and thought about you guys. The food and BBQ looked amazing!!
We just watched it a few days ago also! We just went to 2 of the places he went yesterday!
Everything you touch seems to turn to Gold; are you sure you're not related to King Midas. Another great Vlog you guys! ❤️
I love goooooold **Dr. Evil voice**
Thanks!
I was a little sad when I saw that you were skipping Iowa since you were so close, but then you mentioned that you were making plans to come visit in the future. 🙂 I will say that western Nebraska is much more beautiful than what I imagined it would be. We have always just driven through as it was very straight and flat, but what you showed us today is anything but flat! If you want any advice on places to see in Iowa, let me know.... I'd love to help! I was also relieved to see your vlog today after convincing myself that you had been taken. 👀🤣🤣
We have BIG plans for Iowa (hopefully next year) with some friends and cannot wait! 🎉
@@AdventuresofAplusK RAGBRAI??!!!!??
@@tracieg7225 that’s what I was thinking?
insider tip, the seasoning is just lawerys salt
Fantastic video! Wish y’all could’ve made it to Robbers Cave Tour in Lincoln. It’s so awesome and highly recommend for anyone watching this to go check the cave out! You’ll love it!
Next time!
You guys are making longer videos-- like this could be on PBS or something. Also, wow Kat driving lol
Thank you! She's a great driver!
Really cool guys.idid watch the documentary about crazy horse 🐴 very interesting.great video thanks Glenn from Massachusetts 💕
Thanks and thanks for watching!
You went to the Stil! Amazing!
Thank you guys so much for visiting my state people don’t get that one e you go there you think lots of things are good I live super close to the biggest city in Nebraska which is Omaha.
Nebraska is so underrated!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I know
I live in omaha, and I love this city.
Loved seeing your time in one state! How long was that tanker float? Hope you go to the Field of Dreams set when you visit Iowa - it's just like heaven! ;)
We tanked for a little over 2 hours, but I could've tanked all day! It was so relaxing and fun! Field of Dreams is definitely on the list!
I have an instagram reel video of the koi fish at the sunken gardens!
You guys ever come to omaha try Don & milies nice video
Thanks for putting us on the map ya western Nebraska the pan handle is completely different from the rest of Nebraska more like Wyoming instead. Cool you guys had a runza cabbage burger there yummy but pricey. 🦅🇺🇲
Western NE is amazing! We loved everything we saw in Nebraska! Runza is 👍👍
Just found this in my recommend and, have lived in nebraska most of my life if you go back you should check out homers records a cool record store which has, vinly cds and, other related music stuff there's also fort cody in north platte which a cool tourist trap about buffalo bill and, if you do go to the omaha zoo I haven't been there but there's a fast food chain that's king kong themed near by
Thanks for the tips! Thanks for watching!
Next time in Omaha go to Joe Tess Fish.
Thanks!
I live in Omaha Nebraska and later after this video we had the lowest temperature in Omaha history and now it’s in the 40’s so that’s something else for you to know
Also you should have explored the Henry dorly zoo
We’re not big zoo people. There’s a lot that goes into where we visit and don’t visit.
You all went to Omaha without exploring the nations #1 zoo.
That’s true. We’re not big zoo people. There’s a lot that goes into the places we choose to visit. Thanks for watching
Please tell me you tried runza ranch
We did! We mentioned it in the video. Delicious!
I really like you vlogs. Informative
Missed the best place, Caribbean of the Midwest LAKE MCCONAUGHY.
Can't do it all! We'll have to come back to check it out!
@@AdventuresofAplusK ha. Had to give u crap...
I used to be able to eat like that ......
We showed 4 items over 5 days. What you didn’t see is all the food we did or didn’t eat when off camera
The fun part of Nebraska is more accessible to people who lives in Wyoming South Dakota and Colorado, not the majority of Nebraskan that lives in Lincoln and Omaha area. 🥲🥲🥲
Getting any ice cream other than Ted & Wally's in Omaha is criminal.
Nebraska is definitely one of those places you wouldn't expect there to be such unique landscapes. Thanks for showing so many cool spots!
Nebraska is very underrated! The panhandle and Sand Hills are amazing!
As a lifelong Nebraskan I’d have to say this is the most legitimate Nebraska video I’ve seen.
Thank you!
If you come back to Nebraska in January and February on a Tuesday, you can get a Runza for the cost of whatever the temperature is outside. Meaning if it's 10 degrees it costs 10 cents, and if below zero, FREE RUNZAS! (with purchase of fries and drink). About the only thing to look forward to in Nebraska in the winter
Temp Tuesdays! Oh I sure miss our Nebraska home.
It's crazy how many people skip over the middle of the United States specifically Nebraska it has so much to offer yet most only look for a big city with lights. I appreciate you guys stopping in Nebraska and showing others how much Nebraska has to offer.
We think it's crazy too! There's so much to see and do in NE!
I’m a fifth generation California, and have not seen much of the Midwest. But I’ve always wanted to see South Dakota and Nebraska. I’ve heard so many good things about Nebraska, and this video has really fed this desire to plan a trip there.
Nebraska is super underrated in our opinion and South Dakota is awesome too! We hop you can get out there!
I live in the Nebraska Panhandle. Thank you for showing the beauty of my home. It truly is a hidden gem.
This video was sooo awesome! I never knew that Nebraska was so full of all that beauty! Spectacular drone shots! This was just such a fun video from the tanking (all those bumps into things were funny), the alpacas spitting at you both 🤢😂 and the bloopers! Great work you three! 😘❤️❤️❤️🐶🥰
As somebody from omaha, i'm deeply grateful you made this video. I believe we arent well enough represented and this will definitely help! Thank you so much and we are glad you enjoyed our city!!
I’m from Lincoln and you just gave me so much enjoyment and inspiration to explore my own state more. So glad you got to experience a lot of unique places in Nebraska.
That's awesome to hear! Thanks for watching!
Me too!! I miss home in a few years I’ll be back in Lincoln.
I am so glad you guys made this video. While many people are aware of the badlands areas (and national parks) of the western Dakotas, many do not realize that there are beautiful badlands areas of western Nebraska and Kansas as well. ❤
We didn’t before we researched for this video! We’re so glad we now know and shared it! Both beautiful states!
Thank you for giving Nebraska some love, being a Nebraskan I notice a lot of people say Nebraska is a boring place, thanks for proving them wrong!
NE is so underrated in our opinion!
If you ever come back to Nebraska you need to check out the Niobrara river(waterfalls, creeks, and kayaking)
Scotts Bluff is where I saw my first and only Rattle Snake in the wild.
I grew up in the Sandhills, went to high school in Mullen, and live in Lincoln. We used to go tanking in the summers all the time, and my classmates and I used to go swimming in the river right where you finished the tanking trip. This is easily one of the best videos on visiting Nebraska I've seen! Thanks for honoring our beautiful state!
Nebraska is such an amazing state and is super underrated!
We moved to Omaha about 3 years ago once my husband got his own truck. He’s OTR so we get exposed to some really beautiful places and some ugly. I will say though, I put my foot down with Nebraska. When we got here everything was so green and beautiful and we just blended in with the people. My son loves nature, so I’m always looking for somewhere to take him. This video is so helpful. We take random drives to Lincoln too. I wouldn’t ever move from here!
Nebraska really blew us away also! It seemed like a great place to live! Beautiful nature spots, cities, parks, small towns and so much more. We're glad our video is helpful! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Welcome back....missed ya'! :) Great vlog.....love the area.
This video was AMAZING! So glad that you were able to visit with your parents. Love the way that your incorporate history into the beautiful views! Most beautiful state capitol that we have ever seen! Thank you!
Thank you! ❤️
Ok 18 mins in and I have to comment! WOW you guys never disappoint! Always thought Nebraska “Cornhuskers” you’ve shown us so much more than expected & the drone shots! Wow…on to the rest of the video….~Cara
Woohoo! We had so much fun!
You’ve done more in my home state than I’ve done in my entire life! Haha. Great to see this video.
Quite literally the best, most fun video I’ve ever seen made about this state I call home. So glad you guys enjoyed it and spent time in Western Nebraska! I know you guys would just love the zoo!
We had a blast! The zoo does sound fun!
I can’t wait to drive across Nebraska again. ( I can’t believe I just said that)
As someone who lives in Nebraska and has 35 years... you missed a lot... It’s not all plains and cornfields by any means... But damn it we don’t want people knowing this 🤣🤷🏻♂️
We had five days to do as much as we could…of course we missed a lot. But we loved what we saw. Thanks for watching
It’s always funny when people talk shit on Nebraska and I’m just sitting there like damn you never looked at a map?
You should try to get back in mid March for the Sandhill Crane migration around Grand Island
That would be amazing to see!
@@AdventuresofAplusK seeing it through a blind is breath taking because they don’t avoid that area.
I grew up in Kearney and it’s a treasure to see the sandhill cranes. People come from all
Over the world!!
Born and raised Nebraskan. We went to fort rob every year for summer vacation, it’s one of my favorite places in the state, I am so glad you were able to visit. In the summer you can go into more of the buildings, it’s a great places for a calm family centered trip!!
It was a last minute addition and we’re so glad we could go!
Since my paternal grandpa was the only boy with 7 sisters, the Army kept him state-side during WWII (that mattered back then), & Fort Robinson was where he was stationed; he trained dogs to go overseas & fight. He actually lived his entire 95 years in Nebraska. Summer of 1989, after I finished 4th grade, my family took a vacation out to western Nebraska & my dad identified the window of a building that was where Grandpa’s quarters were when he was stationed there.
Nicely done. I live two miles from the Gardens and I loved every minute of this story, you two a re great. Keep it up.
So glad you finally made it to NE! Would have been a blast to see you walking through the old market. I've been to all the places you highlighted. Oops, I have not tanked yet! We did tube down the Niobrara River in Valentine, NE. You certainly saw and did a lot!! WTG guys!!
That river looked gorgeous! We tried to Jam Pack this video, but we definitely need to spend more time in Omaha and Lincoln! Thanks, Loey!
We had such a fun time in Omaha this summer, marking our 41st state visited!
I enjoyed watching your trip through Nebraska. Great video. One day, hopefully in the near future, you’ll have more time to come back and spend a few days in Omaha. It has SO much more to offer and see/do than you had time for in your current trip. Safe travels!
Omaha looked awesome! It definitely deserves much more of a visit than we could spend this time. We’ll be back! Thanks for watching
As a Nebraskan, I agree this is a great look at the state for tourism 💜
amberrrrr i found you ahhahah 😅
Thank you! I grew up in Nebraska and love how well you portrayed the state! It’s a beautiful place with mostly wonderful people! I’m embarrassed to say that you did some things in a week that I hadn’t done in 32 years living there. Some day I hope to move back to Nebraska and this video really shows why. It’s not just a flyover state like most people think.
There is so much to see and do in Nebraska! We had a blast there!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I’m so glad! If you go again when it’s warm, check out Valentine and Smith Falls State park along the Niobrara River. You can tube down the river and it’s a beautiful area in the Sandhills.
We planned to go to Smith Falls, but it was closed while we were there and we probably would have tanked the Niobrara instead of the Middle Loupe, but the Middle Loupe was gorgeous too!
I live in Omaha. Nebraska has its own beauty you would never expect and this video does it justice. Thank you.
As a person who lives in Nebraska one of the best things we have are our sunsets and sunrises
Well, you certainly opened my mind about Nebraska! This is a great message about the "flyover" states. I LOVED the tanking sequence! That looked so fun! And btw, you got a glimpse of the past with those bugs on your windshield. Back before pesticides decimated our insect populations, getting your windshield covered in dead bugs was a daily thing (unless one lived in a city perhaps). Things really began to change in the late 90s. I can't remember the last time I had to clean bugs off my windshield, including during my travels around different parts of the country.
There is so much to see and do in NE!
Oh wow! I’m sure it’s much more pleasant to live and drive without all the insects but I know it hurts animals and environment that need all those insects. Thanks and thanks for watching!
Wait, what? Oh dear I was way off in my guess! We enjoyed western Nebraska, we made a stop that way earlier this year. I'm super excited that this video is almost 45 minutes long! Gonna finish watching 👀
What a wonderful and fun video. I was born and raised in Nebraska and feel you both did an amazing job of showcasing our state in 5 days. There are many fantastic things that you weren’t able to cover but rank so high on list of things to see and do. Ashfall, in the northern portion of the state, is a most incredible area that paleontologists from around the world come to see. It is a Pompei type setting where ash from a huge volcanic eruption 10 million years ago left incredible 3-D remains of rhinoceros, camels, horses etc. Truly one of a kind site that should not be missed. There is also a section of the Old Lincoln Highway in Elkhorn, just outside Omaha, that is still the original brick used in the first highway that ran across the United States! North Platte is home to the North Platte Canteen station that 2 to 8 thousand WWll troops passed through DAILY and were served meals and support by a town of only 1200 people, EVERY day of the war, open 24/7, free of charge by volunteer residents. Incredible historical story. Zoo is in the top 5 in the entire nation.If you are a visitor to Nebraska try to include these things in your itinerary. You won’t be sorry.
Great episode. We drive through Nebraska a couple of times a year. The Sandhills region is super underrated. When you were in Mullen Adam was only minutes away from one of America's greatest golf courses, Sand Hills. Next time don't miss Oregon Trail Ruts and Register Cliff just across the Wyoming border in Guernsey, WY. Runza's are . . . um . . . different.
Oh I know…it pained me to drive by Sand Hills and not play!
Nebraska was awesome! We really liked Runzas. So much to see and do in Nebraska!
