Just a quick post as I am trying to get caught up! Left Rapid City on Sunday and traveled to Chimney Rock and Scotts Bluff, Nebraska. These two landmarks are amongst many that served as important monuments to pioneers traveling west on the Mormon Trail, Oregon Trail and California Trail in the 1800's. When in sight they knew they were getting closer to their destinations. We stopped briefly at Chimney Rock and headed to Scotts Bluff. The girls earned their Jr. Ranger and we hiked a mile-and-a-half from the top of Scotts Bluff back to the VC. A lovely day. We camped out in a wind/rain storm that night in Scotts Bluff and everything got pretty much soaked. In the a.m. we just folded it all up and put in the back of the van and headed to Rocky Mountain N.P. The weather changed dramatically over night! Will be glad to get out of the stormy weather.
looks like you guys are having a fun trip :-)
