Scotts Bluff National Monument....

From a distance - click
...Nebraska, for those who moved west, along the busy Trails,
this was a huge landmark, to see that no one fails;
there were others too but none so sure to see,
it towered over the landscape, for those westerners to be.

Sandstone whipped by wind, eroded over time,
the stronger rock left to stand, to become this hopeful sign;
pioneers needed new land, or the adventure of the mines,
they depended like a sailor and a lighthouse, for these landmark signs.
A "Landship" and the 'bluff' - click
Mitchell Pass, an important goal
Seen from another angle
