As we prepared to depart the old Motel Kimball in Kimball, Nebraska we asked the innkeeper where to go for espresso. He suggested a place downtown. Downtown Kimball is much like Andy Griffith's Mayberry. But in the center of the downtown block, there is Java Blend. The barista with blond dreadlocks said that it has been hard going to get the mountain country locals to accept strong coffee. But GPS brings in many travelers.
