Bucket List

[Eric McCarthy]

I'm really not sure how I came across this website but I've had it booked marked in my favourite section for quite some time. Its the Great Nebraska Tractor ride. A huge two day tractor ride even covering about 150 miles threw the back roads of Nebraska. Seems like there's tractors from every make and model out there but the one main requirement is the tractor has to be 25 years old or older. This is something I'd love to attend and take place in just once in my life if not some day make it a yearly event.

Man that sure looks like a fun time to be had. I doubt I will ever get up that way but sure would like to.

That's awesome, Eric. Instead of traveling all the way out there, though, you could start an East Coast version...
But, my B7100 won't do 13 mph...

Funny you say that Mark because it had crossed my mind to do something like that out here on the East Coast. But no clue where abouts to do it with such awesome scenery. I had actually thought about doing it out in your neck of the woods across the mountains of Virginia.

I personally would want a bil ol antique farm tractor to ride around and look pretty on!

There's no doubt that the Shenandoah Valley would be a beautiful place to have it, plus there are tons of farmers here. But, I have seen plenty of other beautiful places in Va. Off to the East of you, in Gloucester County or Mathews County would also be a great place. I'd want a big old IH 1066.

From the looks of things the Nebraska ride is held all over the state of Nebraska to tour other parts of the state. So yeah it wouldn't be to terribly hard to have it one year across the mountains and the following year across the Northern Neck area. A shindig like that here on the East Coast probably wouldn't be to hard to pull off but with the way things are for me right now it would be a while before I could make things happen, right now its just a pipe dream among many others.
