General Operations N/A Region & Climate Weather Highlights Summer High:the July high is around 90 degrees Winter Low:the January low is 15 Rain:averages 20 inches of rain a year Snow:averages 30 inches of snow a year History Geography is often destiny. It has always been so with Ogallala, a town that came into existence at the junction of the major routes of the transcontinental migrations and of the cattle trails north from Texas. The Haythorn family homesteaded in the Lemoyne, NE area in 1884, some of the first to settle in the beautiful sandhills near the North Platte River. From 1870 to 1885, Ogallala was the gateway of the Northern Plains. Hard-bitten Wyoming and Montana cattlemen met in Ogallala's hotel and saloons with Texas cattle kings and bargained over cattle prices. Gold flowed freely across the table, liquor across the bar, and occasionally blood across the floor as a bullet brought some unlucky cowhand to his death on the floorboards of Tuck's Saloon. The first non-native visitors to this area were the trappers from St. Louis. Next came the pioneers who followed the Oregon Trail. To protect them, the government established forts at intervals along the trail. Then came the Union Pacific Railroad. It is assumed that Ogallala had its beginning about 1867. Settlers started to follow the railroad west, and the cattlemen started driving their cattle to Ogallala to be shipped east or to be sold to Montana and Wyoming ranchers. Ogallala's early history was unspectacular, promising to be nothing but a section house and water tank for the railroad. Then, in the spring of 1868, three men appeared to set the destiny of Ogallala. These men were the Lonergan brothers and Louis Aufdengarten. The Lonergan brothers came to do construction work for the Union Pacific Railroad. They found the plains to their liking, and subsequently became interested in Ogallala. By 1876, Ogallala had changed little from its infant days in 1868. The stores were all south of the railroad tracks, and fronted what was called Railroad Street and the trail leading south to the Platte River. Along this trail extended the rest of the town. The town consisted of saloons with such names as The Cowboy's Rest and the Crystal Palace. The last building on the street was the Ogallala House dining room widely patronized because of its excellent fare. It was run by S.S. Gast. By 1880, Ogallala consisted of one courthouse, one school, one hotel, two dwelling houses, and twenty-five permanent residents. The tempo of living in early Ogallala changed with the seasons. During the months of winter and early spring life was drab and dreary. Shortly after the first of June the town began to hum with activity as the first Texas trail herds started to arrive. During the three summer months business boomed ten to twelve herds, each of two hundred or more trail hands taxed the facilities of Ogallala. Sleeping rooms and meals were hard to find when the trail hands were in town. Activities in Ogallala continued at a fever pitch until the end of August, by then the Texans were heading back to Texas; by November Ogallala had settled back in quiet and peaceful repose. Ogallala's population of floaters, gamblers, trades-people and dance hall hostesses drifted to Omaha or Cheyenne to spend the winter. One hotel, one supply house and a single saloon remained open for the winter. The community sank into a state of inanimation until next spring. In 1882-1884, the settlers and farmers reached Ogallala. These men were encouraged by the Union Pacific Railroad because the railroad started selling their land at quite low prices. A serious epidemic of Texas fever swept over Nebraska during the summer of 1884. The disease first appeared near Ogallala in July apparently being brought in by Texas cattle. The disease spread quickly and it caused very heavy losses to the cattlemen. The ranchers had started to put expensive blooded bulls in their herds. These ranchers demanded that Texas cattle be excluded from Nebraska. This ban of Texas cattle was a damaging blow to the Texas trail herd business. This was the end of the trail period of Ogallala, as the wild, often violent town became a peaceful farmer's settlement. Location Mestas Lot at Lake McConaughy is 15 minutes from Ogallala and Interstate I-80, 3 .5 hours northeast of Denver, CO and 4.5 hours west of Omaha, NE This property is only minutes away from the lake's famous white sands beaches, a very popular boat ramp, convenience stores, many restaurants and bars.

Alkali game reserve on the South Platte River near Roscoe, Nebraska is one of the highest quality river properties that has been available for sale in many years. Many trees have been removed throughout the property, opening up areas along the river for strutting tom turkeys to roam as well as whitetail and mule deer. The area outside the accretion ground to the North provides many recreational opportunities for waterfowl. There is a slough, four solar wells, and a pond that could provide the perfect roost spot for migrating birds. The pond could easily be enlarged to host more birds as well. The three miles of river corridor is amazing water for ducks and geese. The South Platte River has a perfect flow for waterfowl to get sand after feeding, and is also used as a roost. The West side of the property has roughly 180 acres of dryland corn that would make the perfect space for a goose pit to hunt both ducks and geese as the birds fly east/west through that area in abundance. A new owner could easily expand the agriculture by planting more corn and/or alfalfa. With three miles of property, there is potential to install more in-ground blinds giving more opportunities for hunting either side of the existing pond/slough without disturbing roosting waterfowl. In summary, Alkali Game Reserve is what its name suggests. This is a top notch hunting property with mixed bag potential, good income, and excellent water sources. When other properties are out of water this one shines. History: This area has deep roots in western history. The Alkali Station was a stopping place on the Overland Trail during the 1800's. It also served as a Pony Express station in 1860-61. The station provided many settlers and travelers with food, water, and shelter. During the Civil War the Alkali Station became an Army post, and several battles were fought here. A historical marker, just North of the property, describes the full breadth of history here.

The United States Army, with 600 troops under the command of William Selby Harney, made a surprise punitive attack on a Brule Sioux encampment led by Chief Little Thunder, in retaliation for the Grattan incident. Army infantry and cavalry killed a total of 86 people, including women and children, and taking another 70 women and children as captives. Samuel P. Delatour arrived in the area in 1884, founding a ranch at Blue Creek. Lewellen was platted (laid out) in 1906, around the time the railroad was extended to that point. Originally part of the Deuel County, Lewellen became part of Garden County in 1910. It was named for Frank Lewellen, who arrived in the area in 1886 and established a small store and post office.

It has always been so with Ogallala, a town that came into existence at the junction of the major routes of the transcontinental migrations and of the cattle trails north from Texas. The Haythorn family homesteaded in the Lemoyne, NE area in 1884, some of the first to settle in the beautiful sandhills near the North Platte River. From 1870 to 1885, Ogallala was the gateway of the Northern Plains. Hard-bitten Wyoming and Montana cattlemen met in Ogallala's hotel and saloons with Texas cattle kings and bargained over cattle prices. Gold flowed freely across the table, liquor across the bar, and occasionally blood across the floor as a bullet brought some unlucky cowhand to his death on the floorboards of Tuck's Saloon. The first non-native visitors to this area were the trappers from St. Louis. Next came the pioneers who followed the Oregon Trail. To protect them, the government established forts at intervals along the trail. Then came the Union Pacific Railroad. It is assumed that Ogallala had its beginning about 1867. Settlers started to follow the railroad west, and the cattlemen started driving their cattle to Ogallala to be shipped east or to be sold to Montana and Wyoming ranchers. Ogallala's early history was unspectacular, promising to be nothing but a section house and water tank for the railroad. Then, in the spring of 1868, three men appeared to set the destiny of Ogallala. These men were the Lonergan brothers and Louis Aufdengarten. The Lonergan brothers came to do construction work for the Union Pacific Railroad. They found the plains to their liking, and subsequently became interested in Ogallala. By 1876, Ogallala had changed little from its infant days in 1868. The stores were all south of the railroad tracks, and fronted what was called Railroad Street and the trail leading south to the Platte River. Along this trail extended the rest of the town. The town consisted of saloons with such names as The Cowboy's Rest and the Crystal Palace. The last building on the street was the Ogallala House dining room widely patronized because of its excellent fare. It was run by S.S. Gast. By 1880, Ogallala consisted of one courthouse, one school, one hotel, two dwelling houses, and twenty-five permanent residents. The tempo of living in early Ogallala changed with the seasons. During the months of winter and early spring life was drab and dreary. Shortly after the first of June the town began to hum with activity as the first Texas trail herds started to arrive. During the three summer months business boomed ten to twelve herds, each of two hundred or more trail hands taxed the facilities of Ogallala. Sleeping rooms and meals were hard to find when the trail hands were in town. Activities in Ogallala continued at a fever pitch until the end of August, by then the Texans were heading back to Texas; by November Ogallala had settled back in quiet and peaceful repose. Ogallala's population of floaters, gamblers, trades-people and dance hall hostesses drifted to Omaha or Cheyenne to spend the winter. One hotel, one supply house and a single saloon remained open for the winter. The community sank into a state of inanimation until next spring. In 1882-1884, the settlers and farmers reached Ogallala. These men were encouraged by the Union Pacific Railroad because the railroad started selling their land at quite low prices. A serious epidemic of Texas fever swept over Nebraska during the summer of 1884. The disease first appeared near Ogallala in July apparently being brought in by Texas cattle. The disease spread quickly and it caused very heavy losses to the cattlemen. The ranchers had started to put expensive blooded bulls in their herds. These ranchers demanded that Texas cattle be excluded from Nebraska. This ban of Texas cattle was a damaging blow to the Texas trail herd business. This was the end of the trail period of Ogallala, as the wild, often violent town became a peaceful farmer's settlement. Location Haythorn's Lake McConaughy Vistas Lots are on average 15 minutes from Ogallala and Interstate I-80, 3 .5 hours northeast of Denver, CO and 4.5 hours west of Omaha, NE This property is only minutes away from the lake's famous white sands beaches, a very popular boat ramp, convenience stores, many restaurants and bars.

Haythorn's Lake McConaughy Vistas will be 10 plus acre lots determined by survey. The entire project is planned to be completed in 3 or 4 phases depending on the amount of interest in the lots. Haythorn's Lake McConaughy Vistas would also be a tremendous opportunity for a developer to take the reins of. The majority of the proposed lots will have lake views and great access to Lake McConaughy. Contact Rick Kusel or Clay Owens for information.
