If anyone takes Hwy 2 in Nebraska the Arrow Hotel (Broken Bow) looks like a good place to stay.
You're getting close to home.

We ate there and the food was good.
Walking back to our motel we noticed Arrow East is a parking garage with rooms above. I would like that better than parking on the street at the regular Hotel.

In two small (3K rd trip) and two large (9K rd trip) journeys from Boston, one thing I learned was to not avoid small towns during your travels. I tried to stop every hundred+ miles or so, get off the bike and talk with the local folks. At one stop (2012) in Randolph, Nebraska I had a great conversation with a local farm-owner who spotted my motorcycle and Massachusetts plate. In about fifteen minutes we covered a range of topics, exchanged snail-mail addresses and became pen pals for about five years.
A tall, ATGATTed stranger with a strange motorcycle, and a rarely-seen plate is a source of great interest. When the helmet comes off and the smile comes on, you're a conversation-magnet.
Anyhow, some of that looks desolate and remote. I'm sure folks are friendly and kind.....but anyone ever have a bad interaction?
The one thing I do worry about is some of those wide open spaces in the middle of (what I call) nowhere. Everyone's nowhere is somewhere to someone else. Anyhow, some of that looks desolate and remote. I'm sure folks are friendly and kind.....but anyone ever have a bad interaction?
Rule One is to always maintain situational awareness. There are places, times, and situations you don't want to be involved in, but they can happen anywhere, including your own back yard. Having said that, I've never had a problem in remote areas. In fact the more remote the safer I've felt.
