Oil Pipeline Across Sand Hills of Nebraska

I was in the place. I shot this story. The grass is growing in sandy soil, my man. Hence the name: Sand Hills. It is a quiet, beautiful place, indeed.

..WELL DAMN ! Why Cant Main-Stream Media..and most, so called "Indepentent-Media".. show the TRUTH ! ??

Just the Name "SAND HILLS" relays a mental image that is FALSE ! .. this area is Grass Land -- "Gods Own Cow Country".. Thousands of lakes are litterly the top of the great Aquifer, that Saturates the Area-- This area is NOT AN AREA OF DESOLATION...Grass on the hills is Knee high...and Waist High..In the wet Meadows .. Go TO GOODLE EARTH -- Search For "Nebraska Sand Hills" .. see the place !
