Thursday, June 11, 1987 Daily Nebraskan Pago 9 Western Nebraska offers escape By Douglas Engh Staff Reporter If roaming Gateway Shopping Center is your idea of getting back to nature, perhaps camping in western Nebraska can provide you with more of a chal lenge. The Nebraska Game and Parks Com mission recommends many summer adventures. Fort Robinson State Park, near Crawford, offers hunting and fish ing, hiking trails, horse riding, and camping. Nine hours from Lincoln, the 21,000-acre park lies in the shadow of the Pine Ridge. Tours of the fort are conducted throughout the summer, and a repertory theater company plays at the Post Playhouse. Chadron State Park, east of Fort Robinson, is also in the Pine Ridge. Once a fur trading and military post, it has camp sites, cabins, a fur trade museum, and conveniences for family camping. It also sponsors an annual fur traders rendezvous, parade, and 10K run. Modern day prairie pioneers can travel to Bayard, near Scottsbluff and ride in a wagon train. The Oregon Trail Wagon Train company operates through out the summer with three- and four day trips. Participants cook out, drive horse teams, square dance and exper ience a simulated Indian attack. Other sites in the area include Chimney Rock National Historic Site, and Scotts Bluff National Monument, both with hiking trails. The National Park Service has no facilities at Chimney Rock other than the trails and a picnic area. Scotts Bluff has a visitors center. Maps and additional information can be obtained from the Game and Parks Commission. If the student camper lacks equip ment, they can turn to the Campus Recreation office for help. Campus Rec maintains the largest equipment rental program in the city, serving current UNL students, staff, and faculty. They also sell hunting, fishing, and park permits, and have maps and travel brochures of western Nebraska camp sites, rest areas, and recreation areas. Brent Toalson, Campus Rec Outdoor Adventures staff member said, "You can rent tents, sleeping bags, cook stoves, and canoeing equipment." Items can be rented at daily, weekend, and weekly rates. "This service provides for those who don't have their own camping equipment to experience the outdoors," he said. In addition to their rental program the Outdoor Adventures Department, a part of Campus Rec, sponsors organized Not Enough E oom?
