I did a daytrip up into Northeast Nebraska during the summer of 2025 to check out the site of a robust collection of ancient animal fossils being exhumed from ashfall laid out by a distant Yellowstone eruption millions of years ago. The fossil dig is enclosed within a modern barn like shelter allowing paleontologists to work uninterrupted through any type of weather. There is also a mile long trail that loops around the property. The walk includes a nice jaunt through a stream valley that was once the site of a hearty homesteader. This is a nice quick trip for anyone interested in the ancient history of Nebraska.
