Day 13 -
Once more turning due south, we crossed the Buffalo Gap National Grasslands and on through Nebraska, passing such breathtaking sites as "Car-Henge." |
A lunch stop for all-you-can-eat buffet at PizzaHut in Alliance, NE, to stave off Dan's Pizza withdrawal. Continuing south we visited Scott's Bluff where we rejoined the Oregon Trail. |
We hiked up the original trail through Mitchell's Pass. Sam collected another Junior Ranger badge and had time to mail a post card in the Pony Express pouch before a thunderstorm chased us back into the RV and off to our campsite for the night at the Riverside Zoo. |
