Summer in the Sandhills

The sandhills are beautiful in early summer, all green, and amazingly immersive. There are hundreds of miles of single-lane blacktop roads to explore. You can drive for hours without seeing another human being.

Arthur and McPherson are two of the least populated counties in the United States. Arthur County has a mere 0.6 people per square mile. In comparison, Omaha, which is only the 40th largest city in the country, has over 3000 people per square mile.
