While spending time with friends in Cheyenne WY, Leah and I scheduled a side trip across the state line to visit Scotts Bluff in Gering, NE. Nebraska was not originally part of our travel plan, nor did we consider Nebraska when we set out to explore America four years ago, but we caved to public opinion and we are now happy to endorse Nebraska as a state with a meaningful attraction.

This Bluff is a Butte,
or this Butte is a Bluff?
It don't amount to a hill of beans.

A wide range of arrangements 
are only future cliff-hangers 
for cave-dwellers.

Making mountains out of molehills
or taking the high road,
We all plateau on the summit or the plain.

Monumental achievement
can only be measured at the 
peak of a towering task.
