Gordan Howards/Oregon Trail...

    • Gordan Howards/Oregon Trail Wagon Train>>It is an experience in itself. Not ordinary by any means.
    Every night there is a cookout followed by fireside 'entertainment'.
    The whole evening is spent outdoors. The steak is cooked over an open wood fire. Cooks and everyone else who works every night to make the cookouts possible very nice and interesting people! It's near the river, so there trails to go to the river. 3 cabins that can be rented. Horshoes. Covered Wagon History Tour of Oregon Trail(short/local). Afterwards, all the guests gather around the campfire and sing with the cowboys. It's so much fun! And the sunset is gorgeous! The entire experience is not to be missed!!

    Favorite Dish: They are famous for their steak. (16 oz. Ribeye Steaks) The meal also includes: Baked Potato, Creamed Green Beans, Sourdough Bread(to die for!), Homemade Ice Cream, Cowboy Coffee & Iced Tea.

    • Runza's--It's a chain throughout Nebraska and maybe some other surrounding states(with exception of Iowa). It has wonderful food!!! I've been craving it for years now. But we don't have any anywhere near here.
    It is a fast-food restaurant in most cases. Unless you know you like it, don't search one out, well unless of course there's really no other place to eat. It's not fancy or anything. But it is great food!!!!

    Favorite Dish: Their specialty is the 'Runza'. It's a cabbage burger. It is bread completely surrounding ground beef and other ingredients. There are all different varieties like all cheese, plain(just meat), and many different other kinds(it's been awhile). Their french fries are wonderful, as well. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

    Directions: Okay, I still need to research this, but most reasonably-sized towns in Nebraska have Runza's. Lincoln has one near the university campus. It's more of a restaurant, I think. Scottsbluff and Gering ha
    Other Contact: There are Runza's throughout Neb

    • Valentino's--There are 51 that exist throughout the midwest, although 90% are in Nebraska. Some other states with a couple include: Minnesota, South Dakota, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Iowa. I think that's all.
    It's buffet-style eating. Eat as much as you want. Not a bad deal. Nice family atmosphere.

    Favorite Dish: Pizza, pasta, dessert, etc. In Norfolk, they usually have warm caramel breadsticks. They are wonderful. The pasta at Valentino's is excellent.

     I think your Nebraska page is great - I want to explore the place much more on detail next time. I'll be moving to Laramie this summer - close to Nebraska!    		Omahaman Sun Jul 14, 2002 16:22 UTC
