Denizens of the wide-open stretches of western South Dakota and Nebraska and others parts of the High Plains should not be surprised if one of these days they see a Toyota Tacoma with Colorado plates parked on the side of a gravel road. It’ll stick out, not unlike a fanny pack at a rodeo.
But a closer inspection will show that while the driver may be an interloper, he is not an environmentalist, an animal activist, or an anti-pipeline agitator.
Nope. It’s just Steve Myers, one of those people for whom the seemingly endless vistas of the Western plains exert a peculiar tug on the soul … and the feet. “Walking forever never sounded good to me,” Myers said, “until I saw the Great Plains.”
He won’t just be out for a walk, though. At least not yet. He’s actually scouting a route for the Great Plains Trail, which is his big, wondrous dream of creating a 1,700-mile recreational trail that he finally dared to pursue five years ago when he turned 40.
