    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.
