Friday afternoon, my wife and I had occasion to drive NE27 north from Ellsworth, Nebraska to Gordon.
We headed north out of Ellsworth and it was 23 miles before we encountered anything else on the road, either direction, and that was a tractor and baler. In the entire 55 miles, we encountered 1 passenger car, 2 pickups, and 3 tractors. And there are enough hills and curves to keep it interesting. I told my wife it would be fun to drive that road in a Corvette, or any sports car for that matter.
Actually, we were driving a rented Nissan AWD Rogue crossover, and I was pleasantly surprised at how that sucker stuck to the road in the curves. (I think my wife had her eyes shut part of the time).
Unfortunately, when we left Gordon yesterday morning, we had to be in Scotts Bluff by 9:30 so we didn't have time to go back through Ellsworth. I'll have to find an excuse to go back over that road, though.
