Joseph Vavak: Along the border and all the way home
http://josephvavak.blogspot.com/2013/06/along-border-and-all-way-home.html
Friday, June 7, 2013. Along the border and all the way home. Antler, North Dakota. Above is a photograph of the very small town of Antler, North Dakota. The town is less than two miles from the Canadian border and once was home to a customs house. These days, there is less than thirty people living here, leaving what amounts to a ghost town huddled around the abandoned customs house in a circle. It's a bit eerie.

Saturday, July 27, 2013. Near Burchard, Nebraska. Site of Old Plymouth, Nebraska. Rosalie, Nebraska (Detail). Despite my extensive travels throughout the state of Nebraska, there are still a few places I have yet to visit.

Joseph Vavak: Omaha to Aberdeen
http://josephvavak.blogspot.com/2013/05/omaha-to-aberdeen.html
Thursday, May 30, 2013. Redfield, South Dakota. Day one was a direct (for me) drive to Aberdeen in north-central South Dakota. The weather was just as windy as it was a year ago. And the while the clouds were spectacular for most of the day, the sun chose to hide behind them nearly the entire time. Some days the light cooperates. other days it does not. The photograph above shows the remains of a small drive-in theater along U.S. Highway 281 just north of Redfield, South Dakota. Sitting Bull and Sakakawea.
