What is the Junk Jaunt

Junkers on a jaunt.

Every year, nearly 25,000 people from almost every state and several Canadian provinces make the drive to central Nebraska for one of the country's great treasure hunts. The route loops along two scenic byways, the Sandhills Journey Byway and the Loup Rivers Scenic Byway, connecting garage sales, collectibles, antiques, vintage finds, and plenty of good food along the way.
