Couple good roads, ..., Going out of York on 34 (Always NSP present tho.), to Hampton, north to Hordville, over & up to Central City, southwest to Chapman on 30, (Again, a heavy NSP road.), straight west of Chapman on Chapman road, ..., then either down to GI, or up to St. Paul.
St. Paul to Cairo isn't too bad either.
St. Paul to Ravenna ain't bad either.
Yea, you can go on & on, ..., won't please everyone, yer right.

Pontiac_Fan map it out on Mapquest for me.

Just put your starting point/ending point. Then you can click the blue path and drag a dot (POI) to your locations. It will also tell the full mileage.

Ya know, ..., I had done that about 10 times before you mantioned it, ..., & it sux that I can't find an 'undo' button. Sometimes it defaults to some other route & makes a damn loop or something, ..., & I can't see a way to go back one step.
First thing I do is remove the current stops, so it's not defaulted to that stop location.
Then start moving the route.
Then just about when I get to where I'm goin', ..., it phuks up & goes thru some damn loop route & messes everything up, ..., pisses me off & I click 'X'. The End.

I was in the USAF for a couple years, i know how that goes, lol...

The problem with me leaving im not just losing hours but farmers lose money/crop also, lol, alot of people rely on me.... You are familiar with the agriculture field and know how it goes... the fertilizer/chemical has to be applied in a certain timeframe otherwise its not going to do its job or worse cause more issues, lol..

In/around June it will slow up for about 2 weeks or so... then September it steadlily tapers off and by October busy season is about over.... i have more time than i know what to do with from october to march

But we'll see!! maybee we will get a bunch of rain in my area and i wont be able to do much at work and ill just take off! LOL

York, Central City, St. Paul, Ravenna, Kearney as the stops.
Don't pay any attention to the star stops shown.

Try that, ya may hafta zoom out to see it.
I was simply making recommendations for 'side roads' occasionally. I'm not suggesting a specific route at all. Just throwin' more ideas out there.

I travel the central-western Nebraska roads every week.
I almost always see NSP/Sheriff along Hwy 34 between GI & York, & between GI & Columbus on Hwy 30. Yes, a weekend may be different story.

There's not a lot of fun roads around the Kearney area.

Backroads between Hastings & the Shelton exit is okay.
Lots of fun roads between Broken Bow & Callaway, Callaway & Cozad, Callaway & Arnold, Broken Bow to Oconto, etc., etc., ..., but some rough areas for sure.
Fullerton, Genoa, Silver Creek, ...
It's not gonna be easy to just say, 'this is the route'.

Ya i know what you mean, pry the best time for a farmer would be january to march, but I would much rather have that life over going to school every day.

Pontiac_Fan your Route Looks GREAT for a full day of cruising!
I just made one quick adjustment to it if we r going to St. Paul.
I have Family that lives in the Loup City area and would possibly be able to do a bbq/BYOB deal after a pass around the Lake. Sherman dam has some Great Roads and picture location if youve ever been there

http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=York...en_US:M:/bl:/e

let me know if that works
