i remember when my grandfather was telling me about the Nebraska/Iowa border wars when he was a child....how the Iowans would throw dynamite across the river....and the Nebraskans would light it and throw it back.

No I get it, just wondering how easy it would be to get a stick of dynamite across.
Well, when I was in Eagle Pass and later in Laredo this fall, there was no way in hell you could heave a stick of dynamite across the river. Let alone a baseball. Just too wide.
There is something ironic about this post, on a Husker message board.
You're overthinking it, Sheldon.
I'd still be curious. I'm not sure the weight on a stick of dynamite but we always tried to throw rocks across as kids and maybe got them half way.
If you're familiar with the Missouri in the Omaha area then do you have a comparison in width?
Well, I could see across the Rio. No problem. The Missouri is a lot wider in Omaha.
Does anyone really want to claim Carter Lake?
Barney, were you the guy that asked what an anvil was doing in the middle of the woods on the Jay Leno joke I shared? Winking
It has a lake, demolish all the trailer homes, deport the illegal iowa pplz build up some awesome lakefront properties
A little toooo Ironic. Dont ya think.
EDIT would have to be mid range awesome, always forget the airport is right there so would have to be poor mans lake front property maybe in the 200k range per house.
Does Carter lake
Like someone else said, just enjoy the joke for what it's worth. Don't force a comedic actor to play a dramatic role.

I thought it was narrow in some parts, but looking at Google and what you said I think I’m just wrong. It’s pretty big. I may have had in mind some side channels or a different river altogether that immigrants cross frequently.
Ok, the San Juan River in Eastern CA—that is one you can definitely throw a stick of dynamite across. And the Upper Owens River. You can walk across that in under 5 steps at many points.
