I need to put this place on my list, looks awesome! I have a feeling you guys are heading to Ely (Nevada Northern Railway), Great Basin NP & Death Valley NP 🙂. Time will tell, either way, enjoy the trip!
Thanks for posting these videos. I'm not from the USA, but it's nice to live vicariously through you, especially as you seem to visit a lot of geologically interesting places! (A geologist from Australia here...)
Another great video, you certainly have some fantastic places to visit in your country. The National Park authority should hire Abby as their publicist.
Alot of great westerns made in this area, as always thanks for the ride along , but please, try to visit Hot Springs South Dakota , they have the famous Hot springs pool.
So interesting to see the lesser travelled USA. From Northern Ireland, UK. For scale, pretty much the whole of Northern Ireland would fit between Scott' Bluff and Laramie Peak!
Fun fact.. all of the trees out in that area near Nebraska National Forest are not native. There were no trees out that way during the years of the Oregon trail. It is known as the world's largest man made forest. Established about 1920.
I believe it was from the mail system originally - it was used to "cancel" postage stamps once they were sent (if you receive a letter and the postage stamps have an ink stamp on top of them, that's a cancellation stamp) so that they can't be reused.
@@UnreasonableSteve Thanks. It just seemed weird to me that you are stamping to celebrate visiting there, but the 'cancellation' term seemed somewhat negative.
I do believe that 99% of Americans think that Nebraska is as flat as a piece of plywood. I call that I80 or Platte River Valley syndrome because that is how most people travel through the state. The Sand Hills region of Nebraska is one of least appreciated scenic areas of the country and maybe that's a good thing.
I have often said, whoever decided interstate 80's route, was either Nebraska's biggest ally, or foe... Because I80 passes through the absolute ugliest part of Nebraska. If you get 20 miles from the interstate in any direction, Nebraska has a lot to see.👍
Yes, get out of the river valley that I-80 and the rail road follows, and you will see the place is not flat. The sandhills have a lot of interesting places to see.
I-80 was routed by the Keep Nebraska for Nebraskans Committee. Their thought was you run the highway through the least scenic portions and out of staters would just keep on going.😊
Most of the stamps seemed to be trail stamps, so while the Oregon trail is named for Oregon, there are many stops along the way - this park being one of them. Whether you count that as "going to" the trail is up to you. Some purists might say you need to travel the whole trail, my definition is a lot looser
@@TheRealBiggerAl Close, but not quite there. A guy in a wagon train was abandoned there and left for dead. He was later found dead and they decided to name the bluff after him.
Only the lower part- not far north of I-80 are the Sandhills. It’s the largest active San dunes with lush grasses & cattle ranches. The number of head of cattle is far greater than people. 💜
Isn’t it cool how the bluff on the left edge of the screen mimics the shape of Abby’s Monument. When it comes to spokesmodeling, Vanna White has nothing on you Abby.
Thanks for visiting our great state

Come visit some time! There are so many geologically interesting places around the USA, almost every state has something I'm sure you'd have fun with

Thanks for sharing Enjoyed
Never knew western Nebraska was that cool. We'll have to make it there on our next trip out west. Thanks for showing us. Safe Travels
Damn, you're making me homesick! I was born and raised in Nebraska, now retired and thinking of moving back....thanks for the videos!

Abby your nails are beautiful,I noticed them when you were stamping your book.Great trip so far. Enjoy!
Thank you for the walking tour for us that cannot walk, Bless you. This area makes me proud to be from Nebraska.
Great video brought back good memories of my visit last Oct.

There's no shortage of natural beauty in Northern Ireland either!
We go camping starting the 21st. Thanks for your trip video!

I believe those plants are wild sunflowers.
And the way you’re pronouncing Gering is correct.
That was wonderful!!!! Thank you both
Awesome, y'all do such a great job love your adventures
Great spot to visit. Love how you travel when there are no crowds. Why is it called a "cancellation" stamp?
I believe it was from the mail system originally - it was used to "cancel" postage stamps once they were sent (if you receive a letter and the postage stamps have an ink stamp on top of them, that's a cancellation stamp) so that they can't be reused.

It was to cold for Rattlesnakes to be out during your visit.

@@arnoldgrubbs2005 Literally anywhere except the I80 corridor has a lot to offer. With the exception of the arch, I80 is boring...

@@gregoryschulte9065 I've heard that from more one Nebraskan😁
Can you actually go to all 6 of those parks/attractions there at Scott's bluff?

You know why they call it Scott’s bluff, right?
I just assume Dr Emmett Brown traveled back in his Time Machine and named it. “Great Scott”
@@TheRealBiggerAl Close, but not quite there. A guy in a wagon train was abandoned there and left for dead. He was later found dead and they decided to name the bluff after him.
@@WildmanTech thanks for the history. I’m actually headed that way this summer and will stop by on the way back south from the Black Hills of
SD.
Nebraska....a state so flat, you can watch your dog run away for 3 days.
