Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the #travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to go travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this #travelvlog to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling, and we didn’t want to stop after just one year! After achieving our new goal of 100 countries and then all 7 continents (check out our documentary here: • 100th COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY , we had no plans to slow down, until 2020 decided to force us to ;) which is when we bought a converted Sprinter van to start exploring our own country for the first time. #Vanlife was a major adjustment and so different than flying every week like we were used to, but we are incredibly thankful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎

Imagine a town with a population of one and yet, she's too busy serving diners like working in a busy city restaurant to realize the time.Thanks to her regular customers who drive all the way down to support her and keeping this tiny town alive even with a population of just one. Sad to see abandoned church and houses😪

Her customers aren’t driving down to support her, she has the only place to eat other than home. It’s a matter not just of community but necessity. Those farmers are out working so they eat wherever they can.

@@margaretpatton376 Nebraskan here. While you might not be incorrect (that fact isn't off the table) you also might not be correct. There are probably plenty of places to eat throughout that county (no matter how rural) but those guys seem to have a loyalty to her tavern. Rural folk are creatures of habit and loyalty. They could have a diner that's 10 minutes closer to them but they chose Elsie's place because of preference and comfortability.

My grandparents, Guy and Irene Keller, were married on October 17,1922 in the abandoned Methodist Church in Monowi. (The church you visited.) Guy Keller drove the fuel truck out of Mulhairs Mobil Station in Lynch, Nebraska, until his death in 1966.On vacations, I rode with him, and we often stopped at the Monowi Tavern on his trips to fill farmers tanks on outlying farms.My father left Lynch on June 6, 1941 to join the United States Coast Guard and made that his career., never returning to live in the area. That is the story for years of dwindling populations for Boyd County and towns like Lynch and Monowi. I thank both of you for this video.
