I spent most of this past week in and around Valentine, Nebraska. I forgot how pretty this area is! I wasn’t sure if I would have time, but I decided to visit Smith Falls State Park last Monday. It’s about 15 miles east of town. My decision to take off the afternoon from work made me very HAPPY.

If you’re in the area, I suggest you check out Smith Falls. It’s worth the trip. You can go for the day or reserve a campsite.
