As President of the
Nebraska Lincoln Highway Historic Byway, I love to drive the road and promote it whenever I have the opportunity. Recently the Board of Directors traveled to Lodgepole for their bi-monthly meeting. It turned out to be an unseasonably beautiful December day, perfect for taking pictures along the way. Enjoy this road trip from North Platte to Lodgepole!

Newly renovated depot in Paxton, now Anne Marie's coffee and gift shop. |
Of course, Paxton is also the home of
Ole's Big Game Lounge and the
Windy Gap Saloon, but those places get a lot of press, so I passed them by on this trip.

You've now traveled nearly 90 miles on the historic Lincoln Highway through western Nebraska. I didn't get to spend nearly enough time in each community to truly explore, but that will have to wait for another day. Stay tuned for more travels.
