Reader Poll: What are your favorite spots in Saline County?

A bench underneath the trees at Doane University's campus is a favorite lush spot for a morning cup of coffee and writing updates for the Saline County Daily Slice before the heat of the day. What are your favorite nooks in Saline County?

Editor's Note: I love to go find places to write that are outside the walls of The Crete News office and explore Saline County. Lately I have loved sitting on this bench at Doane University with a cup of inspiration, sunscreen, a hotspot and my keyboard clicking away. Send me your favorite places to add to my list of Saline County Must See's.
