I didn't make it in time to take decent photos of the Nebraska National Forest to get some decent photos, as you can tell by this picture, dusk had arrived.
The junction of US Route 83 and Nebraska Route 2 is a few miles east of Thedford, in Thomas County. Thomas is one of the rarities among US counties: It has fewer that 1,000 residents. Many of the counties in the Nebraska Sand Hills also fall below the four-digit threshold.
Yes, there really is a national forest among the Sand Hills. The mostly Ponderosa Pine forest is the largest hand planted forest in the world. When designated by Theodore Roosevelt, the Nebraska National Forest had no virtually no trees.
TR was a unique president. And a great one.
