I've seen Carhenge, Alliance, Chadron and Fort Robinson a few times. I have zigzagged through the state NE to SW several times without using a map, which was always a good ride... but I prefer the Sandhills (Hwy 12 & 20). Do you qualify for a Golden Age (Eagle or Senior Pass or whatever they calling them this year) pass yet? Can't wait until I do, but I have to wait a few years more.

Scotts bluff national monument is absolutely worth the stop. there are some hiking trails there too, which I didn't do, because I have a severe aversion to physical exercise. I have a couple pictures, but obviously they do not do it any justice. you can actually see chimney Rock from there, it looks like it's the size of a point of a pencil held out at arm's length from Scottsbluff.

Farmer, tagged you in a picture of that area on facebook.
