I did warn you what might happen and it did. We got a wild hair. We had seen and done what we wanted to in the Black Hills area. That fact, coupled with our dislike of the rv park we were in, led us to leave two days early.
To better utilize those two days we drove south into Nebraska, destination Scotts Bluff. We are actually in Gering in a very nice city run park. First stop was a very nice museum of all things great plains related. A lot larger and more detailed than anticipated. Worth a visit if passing thru the area, allow a couple of hours.
Then it was on to another National Monument, Scotts Bluff. From your American history class you are very familiar with the Oregon trail. These bluffs were a major stopping place and landmark along that trail. We walked in historical foot steps once again.

In case you are curious, it is named after an early mountain man that died here.
Tomorrow we move on to get back on track and schedule as planned.
