Basically, yes.

Hilly/wooded "wood" probably be my preference, but I would think that wide open flat spaces are pretty much everywhere there.

For some reason, not interested in Iowa.

Am very seriously considering just doing that....flying out there for a few days and just checking it out.

Far eastern Nebraska - pretty much all along the Missouri River, is actually rather hilly. You'll find rugged rural terrain all the way from Sioux City, down to Brownville.

And you might be surprised by the terrain around Omaha - especially to the North. This picture is looking south, at the Omaha "skyline" from north of the city.

Indian Cave State Park, in the southeast corner of Nebraska along the Missouri River, easily has the best hilly terrain (with deciduous trees) in the state. So you wouldn't want to live too far away from it. Along the Platte River, between Lincoln and Omaha, are also some other state parks with similar (but not so dramatic) scenery, like Schramm, Mahoney, and Platte River State Park.

Where is a good small town with low humidity in Nebraska? I did live in Cheyenne years ago but I can't remember the area very well. Thank you.

You might enjoy Kearney (centrally located)! It is a town of around 30k, and is very nice! Kearney is host to a D2 college (UNK) which brings culture, sporting events, etc. it also is home to the best medical center in between Denver and Omaha. It is a relatively white collar town due to those two factors (college and medical), but there is also a new technology park being developed. Kearney also has hike and bike trails, decent dining and shopping, a great school district, and a very nice clean atmosphere. Nice homes would probably start around 200k.
