Trip to North Platte

Did some geocaching & sightseeing in North Platte today. The highlight of the day was to be the "Golden Spike Tower," and, yes, it was awesome. The big surprise was the wonder that was the Veteran's Memorial Wall!! Everywhere you look, it was just incredible! I'll put up a few pics, and a video.... Also cool was a research farm south of town, it's part of the UNL extension service. They do this for you & me, it said so in several places! There was even a suggestion box if you wanted them to try something in their garden, or if you wanted help with yours. Very cool! Walked 9.2 miles around town, had a great day!

Here's a shot of the wall! I didn't know you could carve brick like that!!

This is a house on the research farm south of town. Do you suppose they have to make it that pretty, or they want to?

There are lots and lots of names, all they way around the center part of the memorial.

About to enter the tower and visitor center. This should be fun!!

And, how about some videos?

Bet you didn't know North Platte had a waterfall, did you?
