Daycation 7/23/11 - 465 Miles

We had so much fun exploring in Nebraska last weekend, we decided to go and try another part of that state.  So off we went.  In the beginning we basically went the same route as last week, so we just hurried along to the Nebraska border.  But, there were a couple of side roads that I saw that needed to be explored first.

One of these roads was called "Spanish Diggings".  I'd read that "The greatest prehistoric workshop on the American Continent lies twelve and one half miles south of Lusk. Covering an area thirty miles long and ten miles wide, it presents a panorama of hundreds of stone shops urrounded by huge piles of chippings left by generations of prehistoric arrow and spearhead makers.  Hundreds of specimens of perfect pottery have been removed from this site to Eastern Museums, many more probably remain for the searcher of today".  Wouldn't you want to check out this place?  So we drove for about six miles until I came to a divided road and then had no idea of where to go so we turned around.  Gotta do some more research on this place and come back.

These are some pictures that I took along that road...
