Camping in Halsey, NE
- Thread starter NewRedEra
- Start date
Make the short drive to Valentine and hit The Pub at 3rd and Main. There was a bar in Halsey just south of the little motel, but I believe it has closed
Well that is a short drive in western Nebraska.
For what it’s worth, I watched a game at a bar in valentine in 2017 while camping. We got beat by northern Illinois. Might be a bad omen. I’d choose the radio
Went out there once...to the sandhills, maybe 20 years ago. Literally like off the grid.
No street signs, no lights no stop signs. No nothing, just sand and grass and then a house...then not another house for like a mile. I was picking up something with a buddy at his uncles house. It was an eye opening experience for me.
Check to see if the bar in Halsey is open. I really don’t think there is anything in Dunning other than the gas station.
Residents that love it and don’t mind a 30-45 minute drive to get things
Do any of the "young" people stick around after HS? I would imagine each year they lose like 50%
Can't convince my crew to make the 1hr 15 minute drive, thanks for the suggestion. Hoping to find something in Halsey or Thedford. GBR!
No. You would be surprised. Even if some leave. A portion come back.
I can't imagine going back to a town of 80 people (Halsey), but I could see going back to a town of 400+
Mullen had a bar last time was there. Also a little cafe over by the glidden canoe rental place. Just some old dude cooking breakfast for the whole town. Guessing they would have a tv there for the game.
imo the sand hills is one of the most beautiful in the world. head for valentine for the game and the Indian casino later for some entertainment(north)
Listening to a Husker game on the radio from a campsite isn't too bad of an option either GBR!!..
There's always listening to the game on the radio. Hanging out at Halsey on a fall Saturday listening to a Husker victory will be something you will always remember.
