Anyone For A Roadtrip To McCook?
msspatz:
Going to have to go buy candy from mr bill so he can tell me some stories.

Mr Bill, ROFL my dad started him in that business with the truck back in the 80s. Crazy small world.
Gary:
East west two lane highway in and out of McCook has vast underground bunkers visible from the highway, stretching for miles and miles. Hard to believe those hundred (thousands) of storage areas are all empty.

My wife's mom was from that area and I've driven between Binkelman and Arapahoe (on 34/6) several times and never saw anything like the ammo storage bunkers that stretched 8 miles east of Hastings. I've flown in and out of the McCook Regional airport, and the small airport at Arapahoe. I just checked the Google Maps by "driving" east out of McCook for several miles and couldn't see any bunkers. Do you have a coordinate?

I think he had Hastings NE confused with McCook. I make trips to McCook every three months and the only thing east of McCook is that big ole cattle feed lot (smells great in the summer).
Hastings has the old Ammo factory that made artillery shells for WW2, Korea and some for Vietnam.
