Now we are off to Lincoln. Here is the State Capitol This is The Thomas P. Kennard House. This is one of the first houses built in Lincoln. It was built in the 1870s and is now restored. The inside is furnished in 1870s decor. Now here we are in Burwell, to see Nebraskas biggest rodeo. I don't mind watching this, but you won't find me doing this. Well I bet we see a lot of these on our trip !!! Oh No, we ran out of gas...Who will go to get more??? Well how nice of you Marcy and Bev to volunteer to walk 5 miles to get us more gas.. LOL For 5 weeks each spring, the Platte River has 90% of the worlds Sandhill Cranes. About 500,000 Sandhill Cranes visit here to gain energy from the fertile land. From mid February to mid April they can be seen and heard for 30 miles. In addition we can see 10 million ducks and geese too. January through March you will be amazed by the number of bald eagles that visit the Platte River. Chimney Rock stands 475 feet high. Pioneers traveling west could see it for 3 to 4 days before reaching it. It became the setting for the pony express, telegraph, and stage coach stations. The Lake Minatare Lighthouse is one of only 7 inland lighthouses in the U.S.A. Isn't this LOVELY?? Click on the logo to start the last leg of our trip.
