We had the pleasure of attending a party last evening hosted by friends with a house on the sand pits near the Platte River close to Clarks, NE This is an extension of their back yard with the beach area that extends on down to the water. There are 5 "communities" within the Gated Community that contains some 75-80 homes. It is a well established area but still has lots where new houses are being built. There is a number of residents for whom this is their permanent home which affords a certain amount of security for those who enjoy the area as their 2nd home. It is an ideal place for our friends who have young grandchildren that thoroughly enjoy the place.
This is the backside of the house which carries right on down to the above "beach" view.
We not only enjoyed the visit but also the 55 mile ride up to it through Gresham and Shelby. This is a beautiful time of the year with the corn and soy beans showing excellent growth and potential. Our drive was through an area of very productive, high quality, class I land. In some of the rolling areas it was pleasing to see terraces and contour farming. Some of the terraces even had grassed backslopes. The weather was ideal, the hosts were exceptional, and it was a great evening.
