Statue

I have such respect for those who founded these communities. I love visiting museums (like the one in Kearney, the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument
http://www.lasr.net/pages/city.php?Kearney&Nebraska&City_ID=NE0402017&VA=Y&Attraction_ID=NE0402017a001, where Aunt Judy took us). Pioneers! Bobby, the boys and I invariably wind up having a discussion like 'imagine going up this mountain in a covered wagon' or 'you can see why the Indians so revered their country' ...
