Maggie’s What's Your View II

Road time today!!

Will snap a few pics along the way and update as I have service.

Today we see Chimney Rock, Oregon Trail, the Scotsbluff Monument, and then Ft Robinson. On into SD tomorrow to start that party!

Never stopped at chimney Rock just viewed it from the highway.

I understand its on private property. It can be vistited but Im not sure of the terms.

Scottsbluff is much more accessible as NPS runs it.

Interesting places visited by hearty people.
 
ehhh.....Not that far off. Particularly for the PNW, right ?

BTW, you do know you're an asshole, right ? :unsure::ROFLMAO:
True story
The last words said to me from my mother, “you turned out to be a real asshole”

Kinda sad it ended that way.
:(

She would have loved visiting my shooting spots though.
 
@pmclaine - it has been a national historic monument since the 50’s. On 80 acres donated.
You can walk right up close.
We stayed back a bit.
My kiddo was very interested in the graveyard of the folks who died on the westward journey.
She just looked at me and said, “that must have been really hard, to lose your family, bury them, and keep going on”.
That kid is something for 8 yrs old.

Few more recent local burials too.
Including a kid who passed in 2009 at 22. There is a pic of him with a big buck and his hunting rifle on his headstone, as well as engravings of a deer and a yote. And a sizable pile of antlers marking the foot of the grave.

Here is on Hwy 85 from 11 miles out. (Zoom in, right above the road)

Then from the dead end gravel that also goes to the cemetery.

@1J04 Looking at the ample amount of insulation. Nice job, building a walk-in cooler?;)
If you want cool at his place you just have to think about stepping outside, need to keep drinks in the fridge to stop them from freezing. Hunter's Inn tavern over the road is good though....
