McBrideWhile pronghorn (often called antelope) are still common in western Nebraska today, it is a rare sight to see them within the boundary of Scotts Bluff National Monument. #WildlifeWednesday #FindYourPark #MidwestNPS ...

Have you ever felt "dog tired" or extremely worn out? Imagine walking an average of 15 miles each day, while at the same time caring for animals, supervising children, mending torn clothing, cooking meals, and perhaps even keeping guard over your wagon train for the night. That was the life of emigrants on the Oregon Trail. Emigrant Alonzo Delano wrote that he was so tired "a hyena might have tugged at my toes without waking me." #TrailTuesday #FindYourPark #MidwestNPS ... See MoreSee Less

OCTA debuted its newest short video on the first day of the Elko convention last Monday. This 6-minute video was filmed in the desert of eastern San Diego County along the Butterfield Overland/Mormon Battalion Route. Join us over the last weekend of January 2022 for a symposium that will feature many of the sites you'll see in this video. Thanks to Kevin Marcus at Knowledge Tree Films in Hollywood and Steve Brown from the PBS series "Southwest Stories" for their incredible production here. They volunteered their time and created this at no cost to OCTA, so thank you so much, gentlemen! We look forward to working with you on future projects. ... See MoreSee Less
