Be prepared to see incredible landscapes as recorded in so many emigrant diaries. The air is clean and the sunsets amazing. Gering is a town of 8,000 located three miles south (across the Platte River) of Scottsbluff, pop. 15,000. Together, these two towns offer the amenities of big city living in a small, friendly, and beautiful setting. The Gering Civic Center is the convention headquarters. In our neck of the woods, we don't really have traffic, but we do have coal trains. Lots & lots of coal trains. For some of you waiting for coal trains may be fun at first,however the expressway with its miracle of engineering - the overpass - will let you view the trains, blinking lights, and crossing arms without having to participate in the wait. August weather in westernNebraska is usually hot and dry. If you areused to high humidity, you are in for a pleasant surprise. The nights can get quite chilly so be sure to bring a jacket. Mosquitoes can be ferocious. Bring mosquito spray - with Deet! This is also rattlesnake country although sightings are rare (they are much more frightened of you than you are of them, believe it or not!) Many of our events are planned forthe great outdoors, so please be casual and comfortable. For your entire convention stay, you will be directly on or within a stone's throw of the emigrant trails. It is easy to imagine the mighty Platte as it was in the mid 1800's. There are groves of trees along the river now and buffalo have been replaced by cattle. Standing in the shadow of Court House & Jail Rocks, the Chimney, or Scott's Bluffstill inspires "pioneer awe". We know you will love it as much as we do. With the Oregon, California, Mormon trails and with traffic to the gold fields of Colorado, Montana, and South Dakota as well as freighting, Pony Express and military traffic, remember that in Nebraska, you are NOT in the middle of nowhere, YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYWHERE!

Many trading establishments and two or threemilitary posts have been built here and now two flourishing cities with numerous smaller towns have taken their place. The situations of these several establishments were a little above the mouth of the Platte, but it was undoubtedly the junction of that stream with the Missouri which controlled their location. The local trade here was principally with the Omahas, Iowas, Otoes, and Pawnees, in addition to which there was an extensive outfittingtrade forexpeditions to Oregon and the Far West. The mouth of the Platte River was, in these early Despite its uselessness days, the division point between the upper and lower Missouri.

  • Interstate 80 Lakes — Grand Island to Elm Creek
    Interstate 80 Lakes — Grand Island to Elm Creek Fish Survey Results - Spring 2014 Brad Eifert, Fisheries Biologist Spanning a stretch of 150 miles along Interstate 80 from Grand Island to Hershey more than 60 small lakes are available for public fishing. Fisheries staff from the Kearney office has the management responsibility for the Interstate lakes located from Grand Island to Elm Creek. These man-made lakes, most of which were created for fill material when the Interstate system was developed in the 1960’s, range in size from 1 to 42 acres. The ground water fed lakes have excellent shoreline access for anglers and usually contain clear water and abundant aquatic vegetation, providing excellent habitat conditions for largemouth bass and bluegill. In addition, most of the lakes contain channel catfish, while others have crappie, rock bass, walleye, and northern pike. The fish populations are surveyed on a five year rotation and the following graphs and text display these results. Largemouth Bass Largemouth bass are present in all of the Interstate lakes in the central portion of Nebraska, with the exception of War Axe, which has been stocked with smallmouth bass. Lakes with high densities of smaller bass, include Windmill, Ft. Kearny, West and Middle Mormon Island, Kea Lake, Coot Shallows, and Sandy Channel #2. Lakes that traditionally produce larger bass include Cheyenne, Windmill #1, Bassway Strip, Blue Hole West, and Sandy Channel #8. Most of the I-80 lakes have a 15-inch minimum length limit on black bass. Exceptions include; Mormon Island SRA, Cheyenne, West Wood River, War Axe, and Archway Lakes, all of which have a 21-inch minimum length limit.

They migrated southward through the area of Wisconsin and Minnesota to the Mississippi River. Those who became known as the Ioway remained at the junction of the Iowa River, while the rest of the band traveled on, further West and South to the Missouri River. At the fork of the Grand River, a quarrel ensued between the families of two chiefs, and the band of people divided into the Otoe and Missouria tribes. The two communities remained autonomous until the Missouria suffered near annihilation from sickness and intertribal warfare over hunting boundaries aggravated by the fur trade. The remnant group merged with the Otoes in 1798 under their chiefs. However, by the 1830’s they had been absorbed by the larger community. In the 1880’s, the leaders went South and selected lands between the Ponca and Pawnee in Oklahoma Territory. Their numbers had been reduced to 334 members. The oral tradition of the several communities had ceased, on the whole, by the early 1940’s, although several contemporary versions of stories and accompanying songs were recorded by this writer from the last fluent speakers in 1970 - 1987. The final two fluent speaker of Ioway - Otoe-Missouria language died at Red Rock, Oklahoma in the Winter of 1996.

    NEBRASKA : THE COR NHUSKER STATE 43 larger cities and counties continue to grow. Between 2000 and 2010, the population of Douglas County—home of Omaha—increased 11.5 percent, while neighboring Sarpy County grew 29.6 percent. Nebraska’s population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. The most significant growth has occurred in the Latino population, which is now the state’s largest minority group. From 2000 to 2010, the state’s Latino population increased from 5.5 percent to 9.2 percent, growing at a rate of slightly more than 77 percent. The black population also grew from 3.9 percent to 4.4 percent during that time. While Nebraska’s median age increased from 35.3 in 2000, to 36.2 in 2010 — the number of Nebraskans age 65 and older decreased slightly during the same time period, from 13.6 percent in 2000, to 13.5 percent in 2010. RECREATION AND PLACES OF INTEREST31 National Areas32 Nebraska has two national forest areas with hand-planted trees: the Bessey Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Blaine and Thomas counties, and the Samuel R. McKelvie National Forest in Cherry County. The Pine Ridge Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Dawes and Sioux counties contains native ponderosa pine trees. The U.S. Forest Service also administers the Oglala National Grassland in northwest Nebraska. Within it is Toadstool Geologic Park, a moonscape of eroded badlands containing fossil trackways that are 30 million years old. The Hudson-Meng Bison Bonebed, an archaeological site containing the remains of more than 600 pre- historic bison, also is located within the grassland.
