Back to Nebraska and some of the most recognizable natural landmarks along the Oregon/Pony Express Trail.
		The very muddy Mud Springs.
		The marker indicating the site of the Mud Springs station. You get here on an interesting drive on a dirt road, followed by a stretch on an even tinier dirt road.
		The approaching storm. Fortunately, we made it back to paved roads before it hit -- otherwise, we might have really been stuck in those muddy springs.
		Courthouse Rock and Jail Rock -- two of the natural landmarks used to navigate the pioneer trails.
		Information sign about the landmarks.
		Wide open spaces -- and the storm.
		Back on the trail . . .
		One of the most famous landmarks -- Chimney Rock.
