I've decided to spend some more time on two counties that are the closest to home yet relatively unexplored during the time I've been working on ninety-three. First comes Washington County, which lies immediately north of the Omaha metro area. I spent most of the afternoon around the Missouri River near Blair and Fort Calhoun. There's still quite a bit of flooding in the area from the all rain we received in June. The road to Boyer Chute lies under water at the moment, but the flooding appears to be subsiding as we move into the far more dry weather of July.
Detail #2512 was found in the town of Nickerson, across the Elkhorn River in Dodge County.
Also visited: Herman, Fontenelle and Arlington.

Dana College in Blair is closing. As an alum, I'm really saddened by that news. The campus has some beautiful buildings - especially the Madsen Fine Arts Center (MFAC) and the chapel in the Durham Classroom Center. The park up on the hill above the school also has the Tower of the Four Winds and beautiful prairie views. If you've haven't taken photos around there yet, it might be worth another trip.
I love that park near Dana. We go frisbee golfing up there quite a bit. It's almost always quiet and the landscape is perfect.
