wymore ride from Shawn Doné on Vimeo.

My father in law invited me to join him on a trip down the homestead trail to wymore, ne last monday. I had really only taken it as far as cortland a few times so I was up for some new scenery. It basically lays out as this: white rock from wilderness to cortland, moderate bushwhacking from cortland to pickrell, white rock from pickrell to beatrice and then major bushwhacking from there to wymore. The last leg was pretty thick but you could feel the old railway under the tires once in a while. It almost seems as if someone didn’t want us there with multiple concrete barriers along the way the last leg. Lifting the BOB trailer with the bike wasn’t the easiest but we managed. We soon realized during the trip that the nice/easy white rock trails got pretty boring and the undeveloped trails were where the fun was at. In a way, I’m almost not looking forward to them finishing the entire trail whenever that day may come.
Definitely a good way to spend a day or two riding and seeing the country side.
was expecting to hit the shower at the local pool but I guess it closes before labor day so I had to do the next best thing.
Shot some footage along the way with a super compact HD 720p mini flip. I will have to work on some ways to stabilize it on the ride.

Aaron, who makes some great videos, illustrated The Loren Eiseley Reader and it has been published.

Looks good, congrats.

Mr Wilson of Lincolnite created a site and a widget you can put on your own site that grabs the recent #LNK tweets. Pretty cool.

I got it over on the sidebar there.

Theresa built that program and it went live a few days ago. Now that it is in the news I can let you know about it. So now I guess I need to work on getting a minor traffic infraction so I can test the sucka out.

Might have seen potato in the comments and he runs a pretty cool blog. Local and funs. Put a link over on the side there too.

That is the enchanted Forrest section. They have lots of views of wilderness. If you zoom in it is like riding the trail

I was wondering about the spigot on the bottom there.

Building a rain barrel is easy and you should do it if you garden – especially in Nebraska or any other dry state.

Obtain a 55 gallon plastic drum, preferably not used for noxious chemicals, from the Keep Nebraska Beautiful – Materials Exchange Program at (402) 486-4622 or (402) 486-4562.

3/4 inch brass spigots for garden hoses x2
4″ – 6″ plastic drain grate
1 foot square of window screen
teflon tape

Rinse the barrel thouroghly. Cut a hole in the top of the barrel large enough to place the drain grate………..

Hey all, just thought I’d let you know that over on my blog I’m starting a 32 or 64 entry TV show theme song tournament. Make your suggestions in the comments here.

I’m taking suggestions for the pool right now. Next will come the selection and seeding process, and then the voting.
