River of Surprises - Photographer Mike Forsberg and filmmaker Pete Stegen spent nearly two months traveling by bike, on foot and in a canoe to follow a mythical drop of water from the Rockies to the Plains. Their journey of the unexpected includes facing ghosts of the past and a wicked summer storm brewed up by Mother Nature. Hear That Train a Comin' - Embark on an awe-inspiring journey across our beautiful state aboard the one of the grandest steam engines in existence, Union Pacific's renowned Challenger No. 3985. Nacho Ride - Phil Wolfe wants people to be active and he thinks it just takes the right motivation to make it happen. The retired physical education teacher came up with a novel idea he calls the Nacho Ride. What began humbly with four riders has grown to nearly 200. Holy mole. What people will do for delicious food and great fun. Highway to Tomorrow - Just over a century ago construction began on a really big idea to build a 3,389 mile transcontinental highway from New York City to San Francisco. It was called The Lincoln Highway and Nebraska helped make it happen. Weekend on Horseback - We take a look back at the scenic splendor of the Nebraska National Forest in this story shot three years before the recent Bovee Fire. Riders gather for the annual 4-H Trail Ride where they enjoy each other's company and the natural beauty of the forest by horseback.
