The Heart And Charm Of Ash Hollow, Nebraska
Many people have remarked that there isn’t much to see in Nebraska. Well, get off of the interstate and do some exploring if you have time. This gallery of photos was taken in the Ash Hollow State Park area just east of Lewellen (one of our favorite places to camp). The Lewellen State Aid Bridge is definitely a “must see”. The entire area is full of western history as well as wildlife and breathtaking views of rolling hills with Cedar trees. If you are lucky, you may even get to see some Elk. That’s right! ELK!! Here’s to the heart and charm of Ash Hollow, Nebraska. Yes, we are the best of friends!

From everything that’s effected it from harsh Wyoming winters and spring storms (and even a tornado) to it’s Spring and Summer peace and radiance, it just keeps on growing and living….a true message to “keep on keeping on” no matter the gifts and the struggle.

The Story Of Wyoming’s Indian Paintbrush
The First Indian Paintbrush
Once upon a time, a Blackfoot maiden fell in love with a wounded prisoner she was attending. The maiden realized that her tribe was only nursing its captive in order to torture him later. She planned an escape of the prisoner, accompanying him for fear of the punishment for such a deed. After some time in her lover’s camp she grew homesick for a glimpse of her old camp.
