We are in Kearney, Nebraska at "The Great Platte River Road Archway Monument", I-80, Exit 272. Check it out at
www.archway.org
As you ascend the escalator, imagine that you are a pioneer leaving your home to embark on a journey west by Covered Wagon. Your first stop is Ft. Kearney, midway across the U.S. then back on the trail where Chimney Rock looms in the distance. Well, this monument tells the whole story.
It actually spans I-80 and was quite an undertaking to move this huge span into place.
If traveling east on I-80 take exit 272, because there is no exit further east and you would have to turn around and go back to see it.....so keep your eyes open.
