If you find you can deal with the distance, northern Michigan has a lot to offer. You get a lot of bang for your buck as well. I just sold roughly 10 acres with frontage on a great trout stream for 190k.
While you are here for 8 hours a day trying to tell Nebraskans how great iowa is, I'll be watching some football, cooking with family and planning a trip to Costa Rica. Costa Rica is a place that is well south, and slightly east, of Nebraska.
