Trip Report: Nebraska
First published in 2008. Reformatted 2025. I've been to Nebraska many times, but this was my first time driving across the state from Colorado. I used the opportunity of a Thanksgiving family visit to check out a few interesting places. Just a reminder PIN means Permanent Installation Number and ILC means Installation Location Code; I include these for Air Force properties when I know them.Tuesday, 25 November 2008
