This is eastern Nebraska. Might be surprising to some of you but it feels about right to me.
@Urbankidx4 - by Eastern - I assume "Omaha" or "Omaha and Lincoln"? (Altho I don't remember Omaha being that blue)
@Urbankidx4 - Never been to Lincoln, but that doesn't surprise me too much.
I'd be more surprised at seeing a group of 10 trees in Nebraska than seeing a group of 10 independants.
@0x56 Hey. Be nice. 🤣 😉
Actually lots of trees in Nebraska. especially in the northern and southern parts of the state. Unfortunately, I-80 running through the middle of the state is the most common reference. That runs along an admittedly boring Platte river valley all the way across. Great place to build an interstate but not the greatest aesthetic.
@Urbankidx4 - ok, perhaps I'm a little jaded - I was in Omaha for 3+ years, never west of Wahoo, and all north/south driving I did seemed to be during night times. (There may be stories worth not telling.)
@0x56 I guess this large blue makes sense since the University of Nebraska is in Lincoln. The surprise for me in the Lincoln picture is how big the Independent group is.
