Another 20 miles east down the road from Chimney Rock you will find a pair of geological landmarks known as Courthouse Rock and Jail Rock. Look for the tombstone-shaped marker that says Seybolt Park for the entrance road. (Not shown here because I missed it: the Historical Marker found directly on NE-88 as you are … Read more
After seeing that I was only 23 miles away whilst at Scotts Bluff, I drove 23 miles to Chimney Rock to continue my westward expansion Oregon Trail larp. 23 miles later I arrived. The entrance sign this is a National Historic Site which I believe considering the Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails all passed through … Read more
I’m continuing to head south through the western part of Nebraska today as I creep slowly towards the final target of New Mexico. I’m now in the city of Scottsbluff to check out Scotts Bluff National Monument. I didn’t even have this on my original list of points of interest which frankly is an embarrassing … Read more
From the Nebraska welcome sign I continued following highway 71 all the way down to River Road and came in to Agate Fossil Beds National Monument from the east. If I had to do it again I’d pick another route as large parts of that are gravel and I had farm semi trucks blasting past … Read more
Quick stop at the Nebraska welcome sign on NE-71 in the far northwest corner of the state. Maps show it as being in Harrison, Nebraska but it’s really not all that close.

Camped for the night at Sheps Canyon Recreation Area campground. Nothing too exciting, mainly just sharing here to put a pin on my geomap for tracking. Not a bad secluded place to camp but be prepared to spend some driving time. I booked one of the lakeside sites but it was dark and hot that … Read more
Made a quick stop in Hot Springs, South Dakota as something caught my eye as I was driving down the main street. Lots of construction so I had to drive past and then park in the Centennial Park lot and walk down the paved path that runs parallel to the Fall River. Not pictured but … Read more
Just a quick stop at Legion Lake for lunch. I’ve been driving most of the morning, time for a break. This post is mainly to put a pin in my geomap tracker thingy. Here’s a view of the lake without my truck getting in the way. Small but peaceful lake, looks like a great place … Read more
While the bison are the main attraction along the Custer State Park Wildlife Loop Road, there are still many other things to see here which you should not skip over quickly. Firstly, I think the scenic views along this loop road are worth the drive alone. I didn’t take too many photos this day because … Read more
