;D Just got back from my first "Tourist" vacation in a few years; a trip to Mt. Rushmore and the Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming. Much different than my typical forays to Ely or Grand Marais! I oftentime felt like Chevy Chase on his quest to the "House of Mud," and the "World's Largest Ball of String," and "Wally World," as I waited in line to enter places like the "Reptile House."  ::) The best part of the vacation was the time spent driving the secondary highways of Nebraska, and exploring the areas arround Valentine, NE. I didn't get to paddle the Neobrara or the Loupe Rivers, but I intend to make it back someday soon to explore those areas a bit more in depth and to experience the hospitality of the FRIENDLIEST people I've had the pleasure to be exposed to. ;D Huskerwater, I will return soon to paddle your great state. In the meantime, any other rivers out there that would warrant my attention? Here's a couple links to some of the pics if anyone's interested. Few paddling pics, but got some EXCELLENT wildlife pics. Best Elk pics were in NEBRASKA, of all places. And, I'm not normally a shopper, but I could have spent a whole day in Cabella's! Now, time to start thinking about whether I should change my September BWCAW plans to further exploration of Nebraska! WW
