Chimney Rock on a June morning outside Scott's Bluff, NE
On June 2nd, I decided to do some sight-seeing since the risk for severe storms in the Great Plains was rather bleak. I decided to spend this down day in western Nebraska checking out Chimney Rock and Scott's Bluff National Monument along the Oregon Trail. I did some hiking and photographing along the way enjoying the tranquil weather. The next day was supposed to feature a severe weather outbreak so by mid-afternoon I called it a day and headed back east on I-80 to position myself in a favorable area for the next chase day. I roomed in Gothenburg, NE at a Comfort Suites to get rested up. I've added a few photos I snapped on this down day in western Nebraska below:

I quickly called it a day and tried to get a good night's rest as another chase day was in store on June 3rd. I'll update with that post soon.
