Mission trips are terrific for kids! (I'm sure you'll be exhausted when it's over, but the kids will get a lot out of this experience.) Have fun, & be safe!  |

The Mississippi Delta is flat. Flat and boring except for the out of the way small Blues music joints.

It's very hilly where I live in Iowa. Some of the steepest hills in the state are around here.
Boulder, CO streets with hills were much easier to navigate in the winter than the same type of streets here. Much steeper.

Nebraska is NOT flat. Maybe the western part out in the Sand Hills, but NE & Eastern Nebraska is beautiful rolling hills. Niobrara, Creighton, Verdigre, etc. that entire area is wonderful. The Niobrara State Park is a great place for a get away, wonderful cabins and also the Niobrara River is great for river activities. Stop knocking my home state, will ya?  |

Fortunately your pictures won't have smell attached to them (Greeley has some major stock yards! lol) Enjoy the mission trip, volunteers like you make a huge impact on the lives of these teenagers. On a side note, none of you know what flat is until you have been to the Red River Valley of the North. Craftsman tools tests their  levels here to make sure they are accurate. ![]()   |

I imagine some residents may believe the world is flat if they have never traveled beyond their own front yard. |

It’s so flat I hear you can watch your dog run away for three days 🙂 |

Flat?  This means these places are unable to carry a tune? All their melodies out of tune ??  Alas, Wyouser will just go and  whistle ..... by himself.... on his rock... out back Toneless Chiefs? Royals without harmony? Tone deaf Cornhuskers? Melodeously out of touch Broncos?  |

If you want to know more about the group I’m with, and what we are doing, there was a nice article in the Greeley Tribune yesterday that you can find on-line.
