Secrets of the Sandhills

A Nebraska Sandhills Novel

Everything's Bigger

John Hunt • Apr 13, 2024

Things are different in the Sandhills

We've all heard the saying "everything's bigger in Texas," but there's an obscure area in Nebraska that is like a tiny Texas. The Nebraska Sandhills is about one-thirteenth the size of Texas, but compares favorably in the southern state's bragging rights. I've compiled a list of enhancements that the Sandhills make to the world around us.


  1. The hills are humpier
  2. Valleys are marshier
  3. Lakes are bluer
  4. Rivers are steadier
  5. Soil is sandier
  6. Coyotes are howlier
  7. Yuccas are yummier


   8.   Pastures are peacefuller

   9.   Distractions are scarcer.

   10. God is nearer

   11. Real cowboys are commoner

   12. Cowgirls are cuter.

   13. Smart phones are dumber (no coverage)

   14. Cows are smarter (cover a lot of territory)

   15. Bugs are bigger.

   16. Pike are hungrier

   17. Bass are chunkier

   

   18. Wild flowers are vaster.

   19. Air is purer.

   20. Stars are brighter.
