Wife helped on this trip. She used my new Nikon Z6 mirrorless SLR to take photos, and I used my Nikon D850. We took some pictures as we were going up through Nebraska because we were seeing some pretty nice Fall colors.
Did you know that Nebraska has two National Forests? One of them is touted as the largest "man planted" forest in the U.S. We took a short side trip to the Nebraska National Forest where we found a fire watch tower that one is allowed to climb. This photo was taken from there.
It was interesting to actually see the boundaries of the trees.
We also ran across an interesting bridge. This one is apparently the only one of its kind in the U.S.
This bridge is just one of three bridges across the Niobrara River in this area. The historic bridge was taken as we drove across the bridge for Highway 20 south of Valentine, NE. The third bridge within that 3/4 mile "range" is a railroad bridge.
