Winding Down In Nebraska


We are finishing our four day visit to Nebraska. We have managed a lot of sightseeing in these four days. Since arriving in Gering, NE, we have visited Scotts Bluff National Monument where we saw remnants of the Oregon Trail. We have a beautiful view of Scotts Bluff from our RV park. This morning we went to the Agate Fossil Beds National Monument. Afterwards we headed to Fort Robinson. We learned that no one knows where Crazy Horse is buried. After he was killed, his family took his body and never told anyone where they buried him. We did see the exact spot where he was killed at the fort. Fort Robinson, during World War II, housed German POWs.

We then took a side trip into Wyoming to visit the historic Fort Laramie. It's amazing that it is pretty much as is was in the 1800's. So much for Nebraska, tomorrow morning we head off to Rapid City, SD for a two week stay.
