Hayes County, Nebraska

Wide open spaces define Hayes County. It’s out in western Nebraska, where the land seems to go on forever. Cattle outnumber people here by a long shot.
The county seat is Hayes Center but it’s barely a blip on the map. There’s a strong sense of community here. Folks gather at the local diner to swap stories and catch up on gossip.
The night sky is something else. You’ve never seen so many stars. It’s quiet out here. Some might find it lonely, but others call it peaceful.
