    An Adventure with High Plains Hot Air Balloon Company over Western Nebraska
    
    My latest assignment for WyoBraska magazine: go up in a hot air balloon, and then write about it. At this rate, I’m assuming that my next article will involve discount bungee jumping or a day as a PBR bull rider (I really shouldn’t be giving my boss any ideas.) But since I’ve tried everything from motocross to Senior Bingo Night at the Elks Lodge at least once, I decided that I’d cross it off of the old bucket list.

  Montz Ranch – A Western Hiking Adventure Guide
  
  Originally homesteaded by the Montz family in 1886, the property 14 miles southwest of Morrill, Nebraska, down what is now Stegall Road often served as a way station in its early days for travelers due to its location halfway between La Grange, Wyoming, and Scottsbluff, Nebraska. It was also the end of the line for the telephone company for many years, making it a vital gathering place for neighbors on surrounding farms and ranches.
