Scottsbluff Trip Page 2

Mary in our room at the Circle S Lodge in Gering Nebraska


Hiking at Scottsbluff Monument Sunday morning before church.
The sunrise was beautiful but the camera doesn't show it




The tunnels up on Scotts Bluff for driving to the top


Mule deer on the horizon


Bluffs across the highway








Mary in front of Eagle Rock
Part of  the Scotts Bluff area




The trail we didn't take

Drove west of Scotts Bluff to get some geocaches
while waiting for the gate to open at 8 a.m.

The only rattlesnake we saw
In the display case at the Scotts Bluff museum

Driving up to the top of Scotts Bluff




The surveying benchmark at the highest point on Scotts Bluff



Looking over the edge from the top





A long way down to the town of Scottsbluff






Not sure if this was man made or natural erosion




We could just barely see Chimney Rock to the East
20 miles away







If you look close you can see Laramie Peak on the horizon

Laramie Peak is 120 miles away



Saddle Rock - The southeast end of Scotts Bluff

Looking down on the visitors center at the entrance







Came across this strange site in a lake at the YMCA
camp in Scottsbluff


Minatare Lake light house


Jerry waving from the window


Find geocaches along the road on the way home
Chimney Rock in the background












Pictures from Jerry's phone here on down
Mary can't pass up a good swing in Tryon Nebraska


Geocache in a bush

Mary on the Courthouse Rock side while Jerry hiked over
to the Jail Rock side for a geocache

Jail Rock from the bottom

Sun coming up on the bluffs while hiking at Scotts Bluff

Looking down from the Light House at Minatare Lake






Some strange art work at a rest stop near Sutherland
They are in and along ruts left by the real wagon trains.
