Windlass Hill Pioneer Historical Marker at Ash Hollow State Park in Nebraska

I always love driving north of Ogallala, Nebraska through the edge of the Sandhills - gorgeous rolling hills with nothing for miles. When we drive through the canyon by Ash Hollow State Park there is an awesome little reconstructed sod house at the Windlass Hill Pioneer historical marker. 

I often stop and take pictures as we drive through. Last night the sun was setting behind the sod house and and I just had to stop for a couple of pictures. Photos never do sunsets justice but this one I took using the dramatic filter on my camera and it came as close as I could get it with the naked eye. Sometimes nature is just too awesome to comprehend.

Lightning on the Plains of Nebraska

Last night, as we were driving through south central Nebraska on the way to a wedding, we found ourselves in the middle of a large thunderstorm cell working it's way east along Interstate 80. We pulled off the interstate and took refuge in a Subway just north of Henderson, Nebraska. We hung out for about 30 minutes and once the storm had passed we continued on our journey. As we reloaded the car we were treated to an incredible lightning display from the storm that had just passed over us. I took some video of the lightning with my Blackberry and have posted it above. I can't remember seeing a lightning display that was as constant as this one.
