Nebraska Day 8- September 3, 2007

Today was pretty good despite having to work on Labor Day. We had a lecture this morning and then headed 40 miles to the Oregon Trail in Oak Nebraska (population 60, yup 60 not 600 or 6000). We spent the entire morning weaning and vaccinating angus calves on a farm there. Afterwards we went to "downtown Oak" which consisted of 1 block with a Saloon and Country Store and a tiny park where we ate lunch. Afterwards we toured the Oregon Trail Museum. After the museum we were taken to "The Narrows" which is a really cool spot on the Oregon trail where a bunch of pioneers were killed by Indians. At this spot their is this huge old famous tree- it's apparantly over 125 years old.
